Five-bed could be a large family home or converted to a B

THIS is a house that has not been stinted on — it has 3,400 sq ft of space, a site of .75 of an acre, five fully en suite bedrooms as well as a range of reception rooms and an attic conversion.

Throw into the mix a zoned and pressurised heating system and central vacuum cleaning and you have a house that’s bang up to date and standard.

Another nice touch is that because the property is located at Ballyellis, Mallow, the guide price is excess €475,000, a lot lower than it would be if it were nearer to the city.

Mark Gosling of James G Coughlan and Associates is the selling agent here and while he sings its praises as a family home, he suggests it could also double as a B&B, especially with all those en suites. Built from scratch six years ago, the house comes with a sitting room of 20’ by 12’, a dining room of 16’ by 11’ and a kitchen/dining room of 22’ by 11’ with solid oak units, along with a study, shower room and attached garage. And that’s only on the ground floor. The bedrooms are on floor one and in the attic, there’s one room, fully finished with light and heat with dimensions of 17’ by 22’.

The house is close to Mallow town, where the mainline rail offers excellent commuting facilities south to Cork.
