No nonsense house has whopping 3,200 sq ft of space

A FINE, big house, at Rathroon, Bandon, Co Cork, is new to the market with auctioneer, Christy Buckley, and it has a great location between Bandon and Kinsale.

This no nonsense, two-storey house has a whopping, 3,200 square feet of space and is a farmhouse in the modern tradition.

Located off the Ballinadee road, it’s three miles from Bandon and nine miles from Kinsale, while Garretstown beach and house strand are a little over five miles drive.

The house stands on an acre and a half, with a high and thick hedge boundary, and it includes a separate apartment, which would make it ideal for an independent relative.

The house is in very good condition throughout and carries an asking price of €650,000, which is a fair price, says Mr Buckley.

The Rathroon property comes with two reception rooms, a dining and living room and a kitchen/diner with hand-built pine units and a range of integrated appliances. It also comes with an oil fired cooker, a large utility room, office/computer room and cloak room on the ground floor.

Overhead are five bedrooms and a family bathroom. With the maisonette comes with a kitchen/dining room, a bedroom with study and WC and another room which doubles as a playroom.

There’s lots of hard standing around the house, with plenty of parking and an enclosed patio to the rear.
