No 2 Willowmere is family living space par excellence

JUST in on the left in Rochetown’s Willowmere is No 2, a 2,100 sq ft family home par excellence, with a price tag of €900,000 to match.

Willowmere, built around the 1970s, is off Coach Hill above the bustling Rochestown Road, a mile or so from Douglas village, and within a short stretch of Cork’s ring road network.

On the market with Johnny O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald, who notes that houses only infrequently ever crop up here, it is a trading up home in an area already quite densely populated, so there’ll be plenty of people in the outer Douglas/ Rochestown hinterland keen to cast an eye over this four/five-bed family home, with a good balance of living and sleeping quarters.

The house has been extended to the right off the entrance hall, to give extra living space, with good reception rooms. There’s a large lounge/ dining room with several windows, there’s a cosier family room, also with fireplace, a kitchen with units in ash and an arch to an informal dining space, a south-facing conservatory, utility room, shower room and further play room or optional bedroom five.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom, and a family bathroom, plus study (with broadband point), den or nursery.

The house is set marginally up above the road within settled, up-market Willowmere, with gardens and a drive in front, and lawns and further landscaped gardens to the back, with a southerly aspect.

Heating inside the house is via oil, and the overall condition is very good, says Mr O’Flynn.
