High-specification detached home is in the right location for commuting

IF the devil is in the detail, then as a corollory heaven might be in domestic specifications.

A recently built family home, 13 Rosehill, has the basics right for those trading up: a good residential location in Carrigaline in Cork, a detached dwelling just a few years old, on a quarter acre site, and 2,700 sq ft of space to sprawl out in.

But, that’s just the bare bones in the case of No 13, on the market with McKenna O’Donoghue Clarke guiding at €430,000, and they say that the detailing is extensive.

The lounge is a 20’ by 20’ room with corner stone fireplace with cast iron stove, solid oak floor, overhead Velux and glazed side wall. The living room, dining room and hall all have Kahrs flooring, the kitchen has Irish elm units, black granite worktops, a gas fired Aga and a very large island unit with sink and drainer.

There’s also a lobby, utility, dining area off the kitchen, and a ground floor bedroom with guest bathroom alongside. The first floor has three bedrooms, one with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, and the main bathroom has a slate floor and jacuzzi bath.

The high-spec rolls on outside: there’s a cobble lock drive, decking to the back, two garden sheds, and external lighting and sockets, while the house has gas heating, double glazing and a low maintenance finish.

Carrigaline is one the fastest-growing towns in the greater Cork area and is linked to the city by good road connection and by a recently-upgraded bus service.
