Plenty of room for expansion here

A HOUSE which grew, and grew, and still has scope for more development is 25 Assumption Place, up above the West Cork town of Clonakilty with wide ranging views of just how much the town has grown.

Originally an older style semi-d, it has bulked up on its neighbour like some athlete on steroids, and now packs a powerful punch with four bedrooms thanks to its side and rear extension.

And the storey doesn’t end there: there is a also a two storey garage building at the back of the property, with its own access to lower Tawnies Road, with clear scope to easily turn around to self-catering accommodation subject to planning permission.

The standard of carpentry and internal work is excellent, says Cal McCarthy of SWS Property Services who gives number 25 a €320,000 guide price. Location is 500m uphill from the town’s Emmet Square, with great views, and accommodation includes hall, living room/kitchen, sitting room, sitting room, guest loo and utility, and four overhead bedrooms with built-ins, and the bathroom has bath, shower and bidet. There’s sheltered south facing balcony, reasonable gardens and the two-storey garage is 500 sq ft.
