Moving up in the world?

A TRADITIONAL, two-storey house, on a half-acre site, within minutes of Blarney, will tick a lot of boxes for buyers looking to move into this restricted area.

Located at Dawstown, just outside the tourist village, this house is a generous five-bed with lots of living space. And it has a two-car garage — which means it offers potential for a home business or office.

On the market with Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald, the Dawstown house has a guide of €650,000 and offers 3,000 square feet of space.

Most of the ground floor is given over to a large, kitchen/ dining room with a wide array of solid oak units including display cabinets and wine racks.

Off the kitchen is a large utility, a guest bathroom and access to the back garden.

The front of the house has the formal lounge, with dual aspect and there’s a decent family room on the opposite side of the hallway.

Overhead are five bedrooms and a main bathroom: there could be the option to convert one room to an en suite/ dressing room.

And with its present set-up, the house and two attached garages are ideal for a home/ office/ surgery or other alternative treatment use.

This Dawstown property is within minutes of Tower and Blarney and a fast commute to Cork city.
