One house, two sections, and five beds on 1.5 acres

DO the numbers at number five, Oakridge, and check your bearing before viewing. The address might sound suburban, but the location is rural, in a development of large one-offs at Rathcooney, four miles out of Cork city.

Number five is a big, 4,000 sq ft house, with five bedrooms in two sections (the layout is individual, to say the least), with three separate internal staircases and with a 1,000 sq ft detached garage, all on a 1.5-acre site. All for an asking price of €850,000.

Built nine years ago by its vendors who are now downsizing, it has a self-contained wing off to the left, separately accessed, with two bedrooms, bathroom, and kitchen/living dining space, and its own connecting staircase.
