Three into one goes in Clonakilty

THREE into one does go. Take Sunville, a Western Road, Clonakilty, Co Cork, in-fill scheme in the back garden of a detached house as an example.

Sunville Gardens, a scheme of just three two-bed houses in a row does ‘what it says on the tin,’ being built in off the road on the former gardens of Sunville — a 3,200 sq ft house on an acre put up for sale in 2006 for €1 million.

Selling agent then was Ray O’Neill of Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill, and he is now selling this trio of homes to be built by Totus Developments, headed up by Rosscarbery builder Geoff Wycherly.

Architect Michael Shanahan, who was involved in the County Council’s Rural Design Guide some years ago, designed the houses.

He’s given this row a layout that sees one ground floor bedroom next to a bathroom, and overhead is another second bedroom, with adjoining shower room.

A gallery landing overlooks the front sitting room.

Prices are from €298,000, for the mid-ships one, all three have southerly aspect and features include timber front door and PVC double glazed windows, oil heating and fireplace, kitchen with granite worktop and splash back, tiled bathrooms, painted inside and out, car parking spot and garden shed, and all the facilities of the town on your doorstep with beaches nearby.
