Extension adds extra touch to home

WITH prices still taking a bashing, it’s now possible to buy a detached four bed for just under €400,000.

Robert O’Keeffe of Irish and European is selling no 1 Ard Dara Grove, a large, detached house that’s a walk from Blarney village on Station Road. This house is in great condition and has extra ground floor space in the single-storey extension to the side.

A quick skip to town on the main Cork/Mallow road, the location also makes it close to schools and the broad range of shops in the village.

The area is earmarked for a new town, further up Station Road, but this ambitious development awaits a commuter rail connection at Stoneview, along with a road interchange.

The area around Station Road will eventually become a cul-de-sac.

No 1 comes with a good-sized living room, a kitchen dining room with painted units, a conservatory, utility and a study or fifth bedroom. The upper level has an en suite master with bay window and built-ins and the remaining bedrooms share a bathroom. Grounds are well-kept and mature.
