Impressive and spacious Ashcroft should be on your wish list

BIG, bold and er, yellow, Ashcroft at Stoneview, Blarney, Co Cork, is a whopper of a sale at €850,000.

On first glance the house is impressive, just on size alone and it comes with 3,120 sq ft to offer over two floors.

It’s on the market with Johnny O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald and is the sort of house that gets most of the wish list under one roof.

It has an impressive entrance hallway with double height ceiling and a gallery overhead; this square space gives access to most of the rooms in the house.

The formal living rooms flank each side and behind are the kitchen, conservatory and family room.

The kitchen is a very chic white space with central island leading onto the sunroom for informal dining. The family room gives onto a back hallway with bathroom, utility and then another small hallway leads to the master suite.

This has the apex high window to the left of the main picture and is a huge, sunny room with direct access to the rear patio. A staircase for this hallway leads to two overhead bedrooms, and this defined space could do as gym and office combo for those who don’t need seven bedrooms.

The remaining four bedrooms are accessed from the main entrance hallway and all are ensuite. The house is wired for TV in every room and a pressurised system is installed, which means fast and furious showers.

Standing on a site of half an acre, this property is a couple of minutes from Blarney village and a five minute drive to the city in good traffic.
