Durrus property ideal as spacious family home
According to Elaine Spillane of Peninsula Properties, it’s really set up as a family home, so it would suit someone already living and working in the area, or perhaps, a large or extended family as a holiday home.
Priced keenly at €370,000, this is a farmhouse renovation, but one with a difference, she says, and is quite impressive on the drive up.
Set on the Bantry side of Durrus, on the Creamery Road, it commands wide countryside views from its high position, and while it has great privacy, there are neighbour close by, so it’s not isolated, she points out. Also, it’s within a short drive of Bantry, Ballydehob and is two miles from Durrus village.
In pristine condition, this is a clean buy and is finished to a high standard, says Spillane, and comprises the original two-storey farmhouse with a second, two-storey addition creating a large, L-shaped house.
Room sizes are good, with a big living room, a formal dining room/office, fitted kitchen/dining room with utility and five bedrooms, with master ensuite.
Then, there’s a guest bathroom, main bathroom utility, and outside there’s a hot tub with sunken barbecue and patio area.
