Spacious property ideal for lovers of country lifestyle

OPTIONS indeed to mix and mingle at this Mishells property offering.

The Mishells townland, just north of Bandon in west Cork, and near the Macroom and Crossbarry roads, is a five-minute spin out of the west Cork town, says Bandon-based estate agent Roy Lee, offering this new market arrival on five acres as an ideal fit for a family into country living, and, most probably, horses.

The house itself is a good size at 2,100 sq ft, and fits in four bedrooms, one of them en suite. But, that’s not all: a separate two-storey self-contained apartment not only has a grand first floor 20’ by 15’ living room with access to a raised balcony, plus a kitchen, utility and bathroom, it also has three more bedrooms.

Then, adding further to the building mix is a double garage, as well as mini stable block with two boxes. Key to the appeal is the space inside and out, says Roy Lee who seeks €750,000 for this Mishells holding, a short drive out from Bandon town’s amenities, and on a private sloping site.

Built only in the last decade or so, the main house has good accommodation, and decent-sized rooms, such as a 25’ by 13’ kitchen/dining room, cosy with wood-panelled ceiling and an old Aga, and a 21’ by 13’ living room with open fireplace. And, there’s a conservatory for extra light, space and heat. The site is maturing, with a long approach avenue of fuchsias just going out of summer bloom, and the property mix has rural views over rolling hills.
