A five-bed with room to build

A TIDY builder might be needed at Beech House – this four/five-bed home, on grounds as pristine as the house itself, has full planning in place for a second dwelling to be built alongside, amid its flowerbeds.

The dormer home, with valley views into Sallybrook, near Glanmire, in Cork, is on a 1.2-acre site of clipped sloping lawns and landscaping – and it is in turn-key condition, says its selling agent.

A buyer will just have to turn a sod to erect a second dwelling here, to the right hand side, and both houses will then share a driveway, according to the current plans.
