A walk-in western wonder
It’s obvious why — the house has been sensitively extended and at €485,000, it hits the mid-price range for a detached, four-bed in a good location.
The Bridgewater estate is a low-density development on a bluff over the Lee at Poulavone.
A most attractive setting, with mature woodland and the valley below, it’s off the Poulavone roundabout at Ballincollig.
The North Ring, which will connect the city’s circular route, is due to start at Carrigrohane Castle, down the road, but is unlikely in the immediate future.
No 23 is a good house for families trading up as it faces onto a safe green area and is part of a circle of houses within the estate.
The extension offers not only extra space, but a really good flow of rooms which includes a family room a glazed living/dining area and an open plan kitchen fitted with hand-made Applegate units.
And the extension isn’t a standard box, but a sinuous, gull-wing affair that tracks the sun around the back and provides plenty of space without being predictable.
Doors and windows are in teak and open onto an impeccably finished and interesting garden that doesn’t need high maintenance.
The kitchen is vanilla-painted with a solid, blocky island in oxide red, with wide-plank oak flooring. This is going to be the house’s main selling point.
Other rooms include a wired and shelved study overlooking the front garden and across the hall, there’s a formal sitting room with Italian marble fireplace.
Bedrooms are on the snug side, but the master is good at 14’ by 12’ and is en suite, with Hulsta fitted robes.
All of the bedrooms and the main bathroom are well-fitted, (and won’t need re-doing), and there’s a guest bathroom on the ground floor along with a fitted utility and pantry.
As a walk-in proposition in a good area with good access, no 23 Bridgewater is ideal for buyers in the western suburbs.
