Well extended and much coveted home

IN an area where adding on is the prevailing passion, Loughgreine on the Well Road in Cork is a superb example of what you can do with a bit of taste and a good builder.

These Well Road semis are much coveted because there are generous in size and site and have an excellent location close to Douglas, Blackrock/Mahon and the city.

Loughgreine has an elevated position on the Well Road and was extended, not just to the side, but also at the back, where there’s a large garden and a gate to a private green area used by residents.

The house was also refurbished, with rooms enlarged and refitted and a whole master suite created on the first floor.

The entrance hall leads to a living room, a family room of 21’ by 12’ and a playroom, plus smaller rooms including the utility and guest loo and under-stairs storage.

The kitchen, according to selling agent, Malcolm Tyrell, is magnificent and has a range of maple units, including a central island and larder press. Best of all, the dining end has a bow window to the garden.

Apart from the master suite, with its bathroom and dressing room, there are three more double rooms, a four-piece bathroom and an attic which could be converted.

Loughgreine is not overlooked at the back and to the front has a cobble lock drive with parking for three to four vehicles. Cohalan Downing and Associates are inviting offers of €480,000.
