Catch the veranda life in relaxing Glashaboy

THE owners of The Island, a five-bed dormer home, went out of their way to make it their own private oasis. Now it’s on offer with a second, sizeable price reduction to encourage buyers to take the plunge.

Apart from the Glashaboy, Carrignavar Cork-set dwelling itself, there’s a chalet to the back with a veranda, enclosed decking and even a little timber bridge over a water feature. And, the chalet comes with a hot-tub, a bar area and a TV/DVD as a bolt-hole retreat from the stresses of daily life.

The Island is a modern home, built on a half-acre site about a 15-minute drive from Cork city and has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, living room, kitchen/dining and a high-ceiling hall entrance.
