Chance for city commuters to beat the rush in spacious village dormer

WITH queues of cars heading to Ringaskiddy every morning, the chance to beat the rush is offered with the sale of this south Cork property at Shanbally.

Ard na Greine is an estate of one-off houses in the little village between Ringaskiddy and Carrigaline and has a school, shop, church and pub close by, with the city just a 20-minute commute.

This dormer property has just under 3,000 square feet of space and is in excellent condition, says selling agent Paul O'Driscoll of Sherry FitzGerald O'Driscoll.

He's inviting offers of €450,000 for this four-bedroomed property, which makes it competitively priced considering the amount of space and level of finish.

Two of the bedrooms are full suites with walk-in wardrobes and bathrooms, and the huge kitchen has Shaker maple fittings and a free-standing stove.

It's also got a wealth of reception rooms with a sitting room of 18' by 19', a large dining room and a living room, as well as utility and guest bathroom.

The house has an above average design the West Cork sandstone used in the facade and black PVC windows give this home a distinguished look.

At the rear there are French doors from the living room and lots of windows to take in the views of pretty Raffeen Creek.

On a site of a third of an acre, the house has private gardens to the side and back with a hard parking area to the front.

The house is perfect for commuters and those working in the lower harbour, says Mr O'Driscoll.
