Pretty pastoral property

THIS is a very smart house — from the glazed and glossy front door through to the impressive hallway and back to the sophisticated kitchen.

Simple, but huge, (it has 2,800 square feet of space), number 15 Carraig Aoil is a bit of a distance from Cork city, at Cloughduv, but then its location is superb for families.

Just off the N22, it is a half hour’s drive to town, but is set in a small, pastoral village in mid-Cork, with enough amenities to make life easy.
