Roscarbery four-bed a bright blank canvas with plenty of potential

IT may look like a standard Irish village house on the outside, but inside, The Villa packs a punch.

This four-bed is on Roscarbery’s Tanyard Lane, a location that puts it at the edge of the Square, the village’s centre.

An ideal second home, it has been reduced from €425,000 to €350,000 through agent Pat Maguire of Pat Maguire Properties.

It is a gleaming and very modern townhouse in an ideal location.

Roscarbery has elevated price levels (it has some top class restaurants, pubs and an hotel with leisure centre) and is always in high demand, so there should be good viewing here.

The interior has been opened up to give more light throughout the house and every room has walnut flooring.

Best of all, there’s a sleek glass and stainless steel staircase in the centre and the same finish is used on an external staircase from the first-floor living room.

This descends to the garden and patio and gives much more flexibility to the space. The stairs also provide a small balcony at first-floor level, with French doors opening from the living room.

The rear is south-facing and the property has a decent back garden with flagged patio and raised beds.

Bedrooms are kept to the north-facing side of the house with two on the ground floor (one on either side of the hallway) and two on the upper level, including an en suite master bedroom.

There’s a large, porcelain-floored kitchen/dining/living area on the ground floor (with high gloss cream and walnut units), and this measures 20’ by 14’.

It comes with an adjoining utility and shower room and has French door access to the patio.

Upstairs, the living space is 20’ by 20’ with two large double bedrooms alongside. This living room comes with a solid fuel stove, walnut flooring and recessed lighting.

As a blank canvas, there’s huge scope to make this property a desirable first, second or even retirement home.

It’s in walk-in condition and at the price guide, it’s an above average product.
