Spacious home offers the best of village life with easy access to city

KILLUMNEY village is an attractive little hub in mid-Cork with a shop, a pub and a co-op. It combines the best of little Ireland with fast access to Ballincollig and Cork city.

Comprising two rows of houses, most of which have been built within the last 20 years, one of the more recent additions is a new market entrant with Terence O’Leary of Murray Browne auctioneers.

On the market at €510,000, this Killumney house is just that bit different from the usual offering, particularly in the room sizes.

It has a wonderful, cathedral-height living room that’s 26’ long and it comes with a full-length stone fireplace as a central feature.

The kitchen is hand-made and painted and along with a dining and family area, has dimensions of 23’ by 10’. Then, there’s a playroom, cosy living room, utility and guest bathroom on the ground floor and four bedrooms, with en suite and main bathroom overhead.

But a look over is necessary to get the feel of this well-finished house: it has good gardens, a proper shed, mature planting and a location minutes from the Ballincollig bypass.
