Good fit for growing family

A MOVE back to Cork brings a fully-renewed Laois farmhouse (handily near the Cork-Dublin rail line at Ballybrophy) to market.

And the one-time thatched cottage now a fully-fledged and upgraded two-storey home, also has a detached garage/home office, and several large stone-built outbuildings with further potential, all for a reduced asking price of €220,000, via agents Property Partners William Mansfield who say “it’s perfect for a growing family that wants something more than just a standard three-bed home.”

It will also appeal to a wider market that wants the clear charms of an old house, with more modern creature comforts, a half acre of gardens, and the ability to work from home thanks to high-speed Ethernet links.
