Quiet country living that’s perfect for commuters

TWO down, two to go — that’s the update at The Paddocks in the picturesque village of Coolagown, Fermoy, where four large, detached houses have been built.

The houses have large sites of 2,500 square feet, with a conservatory tacked on at the side.

The Paddocks is set in horsey country on the outskirts of Coolagown, a village that offers quiet country living but which is just off the N8, so it’s perfect for commuters. It is

just four miles from Fermoy, on the Cork side of the town, which means it’s a 20-minute commute to the city.

Prices, however, are not at city levels and you get good value at €570,000 per house compared to the greater Cork area.

Builders of these high U value timber-framed homes are Micheal Feeney Ltd, from Conna, while Cashman and Associates from Midleton are the architects.

Each house has a dual oil and Stanley stove, with zoned heating system, and a detached garage.

Wiring for broadband is standard, as is an alarm, TV and telephone points.

Rooms include a generous sized living room, a conservatory, a 25’ by 14’ sitting room and a 13’ by 17’ kitchen with separate utility, office and guest loo.

Overhead are four bedrooms, with main bathroom and en suite master bedroom, and the floors are fitted with extra soundproofing and come with finished flooring.

Other extras include outdoor lighting and landscaped gardens, with fencing to front and back, and the houses will be finished internally and externally.
