Dormer delight in small Kenmare development

LOCK, stock and barrel — that’s how this house at the exclusive, Hawthorn Woods scheme is being sold — and all for €700,000.

And while this is big money for most of us, in the Kenmare area it’s a modest enough asking price for a property with these extras.

And there are many: from the professionally landscaped grounds, (we’re talking bamboos, buddhas and little bridges), to the site of three-quarters of an acre, to the impeccable taste of the interior.

This is no glass minimalist palace, rather it’s a comfy, and classically finished dormer with some 2,200 square feet of space on offer.

Located at Kenmare Old, there are just 10 houses here in a woodland setting, within a mile from the heritage town.

Built by O’Connor Developments around four years ago, Hawthorn Woods is on the Glengarriff side of the peninsula, with views over Kenmare Bay, says Donal McCarthy of Property Partners McCarthy Morgan.

There’s a range of good reception rooms on offer from the sitting room, to lounge to conservatory and a cream painted kitchen with dining area.

All fixtures, fittings and furniture are included and this ranges from dark leather to soft cream suites — it includes all of the bedroom furniture.

There are four double rooms and the master is ensuite, with a main bathroom at dormer level and guest WC on the ground floor.

A huge patio, stunning gardens and a pond are just some of the attractions.

Throw in a bustling town and a good nightlife and you have an excellent holiday or full-time home.
