Wood you be tempted?
Just a mile off the Cork road on the way into Skibbereen, this recently-built Coolnagurrane home is feature-packed, with a range of quality woods. It packs a property punch too.
First up, the €675,000 house has 2,500 sq ft of space, with three of its four bedrooms en suite, so it meets a lot of today’s fairly demanding buyers’ demands and requisites.
It is on an acre of grounds, all lawned, with a lot of car parking/drive/turning space, and the immediate exterior has a viewing deck to the front, reached from the inside via French doors from the dining room.
That bright kitchen’s units are made of chestnut timber, other joinery is in pitch pine, and the dining space’s floor is in oak, like many of the other ground floor rooms.
Oak is also used in the finely-made staircase, in the sheeted ceiling in the sun room off the kitchen/diningroom, linked via a reclaimed brick archway.
Old bricks feature also in the hearth around a black cast iron stove which bridges the change of use from kitchen to dining space. Other ground level rooms include a sitting room, utility and washroom, plus bedroom next to a bathroom.
The first floor has three bedrooms, one with an en suite which has a Jacuzzi bath plus double shower, and all flooring at this level (including a study) have French pine boards.
On the outside, stone features in the projecting front bay, in the dwarf wall in the sun room, and across the front of the 400 sq ft detached garage, which holds the oil central heating’s boiler.
The specification includes lots of external lighting, raised stone flower beds, an alarm and satellite TV.
Pat Maguire Properties, a newly-independent agent in Skibbereen, has further details on this pleasing mix of modern comforts, and respectful doff of the cap to the vernacular, with chimneys bookending either gable.
