Pretty cottage fully modernised

A GREAT place to hit the decks, that’s Harmony Cottage, an east Cork pad that seems full of sweetness and light.

The pretty terraced cottage with a west-facing aspect overlooking Cork Harbour’s inner reaches and wooded East Ferry, is a fully modernised home, with a recent price-slash of €20,000 bringing its asking price down to €395,000 via Sherry FitzGerald O’Donovan in Midleton.

The vendors have turned it upside down, putting its living quarters at the upper level to make the most of the view via the dormer windows in the new room, and it has layout options which can give three or four bedrooms.

It is near the pier in picturesque Agahada, which is a 10-minute drive from Midleton and which has progressive tennis and sailing clubs among its attractions. Having a boat bobbing at mooring here, with Cork harbour’s attractions on tap, could be a nice fit for a new owner.

For those not into boat decks, the privacy of Harmony Cottage’s wood-decked back garden might be a compromise, it has had lots of work done on it and fits the ‘room outside’ descriptive bill.

The tidily presented cottage has cheery red paint touches, and is picture perfect, both inside and out, say the agents.

Accommodation includes three ground level bedrooms, utility and bathroom with power shower, and overhead is a 15’ by 9’ lounge with sloping ceilings, kitchen and dining area with views, and study/fourth bedroom, plus second WC.
