Enjoy Italian inspiration in Blarney

VERONA Cottage is the Romeo and Juliet name given to a nearly-new, three-bedroom bungalow at Coolowen, Blarney, in Co Cork.

The house is set on a large site and close to the village, which is set for a residential housing boom over the next seven years. Blarney will become increasingly attractive for commuters in the future, so for about €380,000, buyers can get in early on the upswing in the rural outskirts of the village.

Donal Cronin of Thomas J O'Driscoll is the selling agent for Verona. It comes with above average extras like a home automation system and a central vacuum piped to the garage, an internal alarm system with external cameras, a laundry chute from the upper floor to the utility, and plans for an extension, if needed.
