Spacious Balcarra all wired up and ready for take-off
This 3,400 sq ft family home is on a site of two-thirds of an acre and is a new market arrival with Alan Browne of Murray Browne, who seeks €1 million for its owners, a relocating electrician who built it about five years ago.
“It is truly stunning,” enthuses Mr Browne of the home which has three of its five bedrooms en suite, and with a surprising six other rooms also thrown into the mix. And that mix includes a brace of chandeliers, even in the main, plushly-plumbed bathroom.
Balcarra is a big stone and brick-faced home, looking northwards back down the valley towards Cork city, which can be a quick five to 10-minute drive if you hit the Kinsale Road roundabout and flyover at the right time of day or night. It’s traditionally built, with a large welcoming hallway, with slate floor and winding, hand-made red oak and Canadian maple staircase.
Rooms include a lounge with open fireplace, family room with double doors linking to the hall and lounge, office/playroom, living room/dining room and a kitchen with lots of builts-ins and integrated appliances, with a tiled floor and mosaic tiled splashback, a utility and guest bathroom, with shower.
Four of the five bedrooms are doubles, the master bedroom has a hidden walk-in wardrobe, plus en suite with power shower and double tray. Bedroom two also has a power shower in its attached bathroom, while bedroom four has an electric shower. Plumbing continues in the top-drawer fashion in the main bathroom. with a circular Jacuzzi bath, twin sinks and wall-mounted sanitary ware, as well as a power shower and Victorian repro radiator, served by gas-fired central heating.
If the plumbing levels are high, so are the electrics, and there’s outside lighting, electronic access gates, and an abundance of sockets and TV points, along with Sky Plus connection.
