Substantial Glounthaune family residence has five bedrooms

NOT yet 10 years old, and just being vacated by its second owners, Claragh is a family home in the hinterland of Glounthaune in Cork.

A few miles east of the Jack Lynch Tunnel, and with a rail link already back to the city along the Cobh line, Claragh is a four-five bed house set on a third of an acre.

Estate agent Valerie Parkes of Savills Hamilton Osborne King guides it at €825,000, and notes that values locally range from €600,000 for older stock to €900,000 and more for the big, newer houses.
