Modern, detached in Crosshaven

HIGH-GLOSS kitchens are still rare in the re-sale market, but at number 81, Brightwater, you get that and more.

It’s also an indiction of the contemporary styling of this spacious, detached house in Crosshaven.

Just minutes’ walk to the village and the bay, the property is part of an O’Flynn Construction scheme and is only a few years old. Open plan for the most part, it has a great sunroom extension at the rear and offers a total of 2,000 square feet of space. And there is little to be done here, except unpack, as the house is fully finished and comes with top quality wooden floors and fitted wardrobes.

The main rooms, living and dining and kitchen, interconnect, with double doors offering the option to close off the various areas. The sunroom projects into the garden and to the side, and there’s an outdoor dining area with space for a 10-seater table.

The lawn is slightly raised to the rear and has a fine garden shed, with high walls providing privacy.

The ground floor also includes a large closet, a family room/study to the front and a guest bathroom, as well as the chic kitchen and similar utility. Handily, there’s a fully tiled lean-to at the rear door providing a dry and easily accessible storage space for bins, wellies and the other detritus of family life.

Overhead, and off a broad, bright landing there are four double bedrooms, one of which is used as a study at present, while the master bedroom comes ensuite.

The main bathroom is very attractive and two of the rooms have built-in wardrobes.

Close to a number of local beaches and a short zip to Cork city, Crosshaven offers an ideal location for growing families.

Number 81, Brightwater is on the market with Dermot Lynch, of James G Coughlan and Associates, and is on offer at a guide price of €700,000.
