Bandon bungalow is brand new and ready to walk into

BIG, bold and creamy, this brand new dormer bungalow is seven miles from Bandon at Newcestown, Co Cork.

Both the builder and auctioneer, Paddy Murray of ERA Paddy Murray, have an open day on Saturday, November 29 and Sunday 30, from 2pm to 5pm.

Set in the heart of the countryside, the house is on the market at €450,000 and offers good value at that, says Murray. It comes with a fitted kitchen (including appliances), flooring and finished bathrooms and has a landscaped site of half an acre.

This Scrahan house isn’t run-of-the-mill, either, because it comes with a distinctive A-frame window at first-floor level, which gives the house a bright, contemporary look. It also floods light into the galleried hallway and landing.

Built by Crowley Builders, you get a lot of space for your money, says Murray, with five bedrooms and a range of living rooms. These include a formal sitting room, a living room, kitchen/diner and sunroom.

One of the bedrooms is at ground-floor level, next to a full bathroom, while upstairs there are four double rooms. The master has a dressing room and en suite bathroom and the remaining rooms share a second, main bathroom.

The house is just half a mile from the village of Murragh and is tucked away in a lovely, wooded area.
