Traditional farmhouse with a thoroughly modern twist

The four-bed house in Coppeen, west Cork, has extensions to the rear and side and a guide price of €299,000.

THERE’S a cute extension with this traditional farmhouse at Coppeen, west Cork.

The add-on to the side has its own staircase, with a master suite on the top floor and dressing room and en suite at ground level. Both rooms connect to the main building, which offers sleek, modern fittings despite its olde worlde exterior. In fact, three of the house’s four bedrooms are en suite and the fourth room has a full bathroom.

On the ground floor, there’s a living room with exposed beams, slate floor and a big inglenook fireplace with a swinging crane and fire wheel. On the opposite side of the stairwell is a study and access to the master dressing room.

The kitchen/diner is part of a rear extension and it’s a bright, spacious room with Shaker fitted units. A rear lobby leads to a utility and to the ground-floor guest bedroom.

The remaining bedrooms are overhead and, like the rest of a house, are well finished.

Property Partners’ Henry O’Leary is offering the four-bed at €299,000 and says it’s just a half hour’s drive to Cork city.
