Over 2,000 sq ft and good value

ONE wonders what the asking price for this property would have been last year.

Woodview is a bit of a beauty. Nearly new and within a shout of Ballincollig at Ovens, it has 2,300 sq ft, and that’s before you count the attic. It is in a restricted zone, which makes it highly desirable for non-eligible locals.

Already under offer, Woodview is on the market with Jarlath Boyd of Savills HOK with a guide of €610,000.

And you get good value for that money. The house is on a site of half an acre and has a bright southerly aspect to the rear. This is capitalised on in the kitchen/dining area where a part glass roof gives plenty of heat and light. The rest of the room has a modern kitchen with island unit and double doors lead into a proper sun room which projects from the western end of the house.

Other reception rooms include the family room of 19’ by 12’ and a large sitting room, both of which have feature stone fireplaces.

The master bedroom has a walk-in dressing room and ensuite and bedrooms two and three share a Jack and Jill ensuite.

There are four bedrooms in total.

The attic is partly converted and, according to Mr Boyd, offers a lot of space for conversion.

The house is just outside Ballincollig in a private location at Currabeg, Ovens.
