Glenrichmond: five-year-old where space is not a problem

BUILT by Brideview Homes and part of a development of one-off houses, this detached four-bed at Glenrichmond, Glanmire in Cork is a new year offering at €550,000 though agent Don Murphy.

Extremely spacious at 2,800 square feet, the property has a large site with good privacy and is handy for the local shops.

It’s only five years old, which means it’s up-to-date in terms of insulation and fittings and would make a care-free buy, says Don Murphy.

The interior is a above average also, with some lovely fittings, solid maple flooring and a cosy, country kitchen in vanilla with range cooker.

This 19’ by 14’ room connects to the family room of 13’ by 11’ giving a lot of space and the formal lounge is a whopping 25’ by 13’. Both rooms have good fireplaces and wooden floors and the kitchen comes with a built-in utility with access to the terraced back garden.

The main bathroom has an attractive finish, with stand-alone tub and the master bedroom is en suite with walk-in wardrobes and lots of shelving and storage space. The remaining three bedrooms are all doubles.

The grounds are well laid out, with tarmac drive, a large garden shed and finished terraces at the rear, with a big, paved patio.

Best of all the house has an east/west aspect, with lots of sun in the back in the evening.
