Harbour four-bed has room for six cars

DOWN a leafy avenue of mature, detached houses stands Altamira, a four-bedroom house with an established site at Beech Court, Passage West.

This area of south Cork is on the way up and new builds are happening all the time. “However, it’s hard to get a house and a site of this size and maturity,” says Jean Shanahan of DNG Harris, who’s looking for offers in the region of €745,000 for this two-storey property.

The house has some exceptional design features, not least the L-shaped living room with its wide, seventies fireplace and cut stone surround.

The kitchen comes with modern, built-in pine units and separate dining room. Next, is the family room with a gas fireplace, followed by the study.

The four bedrooms and main bathroom are all in good shape with modern fittings and tiling. The master is en suite.

There are large expanses of lawn, a mix of hedge and mature trees and a very private site.

The driveway has parking for up to six cars and the sale includes a detached garage.
