The mellow brick house by the waterside

NICE mellow brick, a big, big house and a location overlooking the water at Cobh in Co Cork are yours with no 24, Copperfields.

Set in Rushbrooke (all the better for commuters), this house is mega at just under 3,000 square feet and it comes on the market at a reasonable €620,000.

Spick and span, light and bright, it’s the quintessential modern home and has gardens to the same standard.

Micheal O’Donovan of Sherry FitzGerald is in charge of this sale and says the house offers great a balance of space.

“It’s worth a look for growing families and the finish is tremendous. The vendors used an interior designer to pick the colours throughout the house. It also comes with a fantastic sun room.”

The guide price is accurate, as houses in the estate are making that money at the moment, he says, and they are all one-off homes with various designs.

Number 24 has a range of living rooms and four bedrooms. There’s a full length attic space which could be used for any purpose, Mr O’Donovan adds.

Three of the bedrooms are en suite and there are two separate bathrooms. Located at the end of the estate, the house has private gardens at the back and good parking.
