Spacious country privacy — complete with hot tub

THIS is the perfect time of year to view a garden as good as this one at Kinalea House, Ballyfeard, Carrigaline.

This four bedroomed bungalow is set snugly in a private and valuable site of one and half acres on the outskirts of South Cork’s fastest growing town.

Finding sites in this area is hard, getting permission to build is next to impossible, so houses which come up for sale are quickly snapped up.

And this house is a little gem because it offers maturity with spaciousness. And it even comes with a hot tub — beat that.

That transatlantic habit has been slow to catch on in Celtic Tiger-land, despite a preponderance of Jacuzzis. In this case, the hot tub is inside the conservatory, giving wide country views to the immersed.

And the rest of the house isn’t bad either: it’s been well maintained and has a new roof which was part of an attic conversion.

The kitchen is a decent size at 22’ by 13 and is fully fitted with double doors to the main reception area.

Then, there’s a living room connecting to the conservatory, a utility and a dining room.

The house comes with a garden shed, is fully alarmed and has oil heating.

It’s close to the village of Ballyfeard and less than four miles from Carrigaline.

Micheal Twomey of DNG Harris is looking for offers in the region of €650,000 for this distinctive property.
