Picture-perfect home that’s elegant with great attention to detail

THERE’s nothing else you could possibly do this house in Mallow, Co Cork, says Pat Clancy of Redfords.

He’s selling the tall five-bed in the Kingsfort Gardens estate, a recent development off Muddy Hill in Mallow.

It’s picture perfect and the owners are relocating to town, so this three-storey detached property is market-priced at €475,000.

And for that you get a lot of space: 1 Kingsfort Gardens comes with 2,350 sq ft, a good corner site and a host of extras.

There’s a cobble-lock driveway to the front, five bedrooms, with three en suite bathrooms, and a range of living space.

The house has underfloor heating at ground level, which explains the use of glossy porcelain tiles in the hallway, living room and kitchen/diner: they’re the best conductor of heat with this method.

The Kingsfort houses are built with quite an attention to detail: there’s a limestone framed entrance and limestone sills, while internal joinery, including a turned staircase, is in solid oak, all hallmarks of builders, Castlelands.

The beauty with this house is its elegant proportions and first-floor drawing room, which comes with a Juliet balcony and French doors.

The ground floor has a generous lounge of 19’ by 14’ with recessed lighting and room thermostat, and the styling is fresh and contemporary. As Mr Clancy says, it’s in show-house condition.

Next is the kitchen/diner of 17’ by 14’. This has cream units enlivened by red and black touches and a generous utility.

The main drawing room is also 19’ by 14’ and comes with a marble fireplace, soft buttery colour scheme and built-in sound system.

The master and second double room are at this level, both en suite, and on the second floor there are three more rooms, one en suite, and a very big main bathroom.

There’s parking to the front for four cars and the rear garden is south-west facing.

Best of all, Kingsfort Gardens is only 500 metres from the centre of Mallow.
