Family residence has added appeal

A VERY GOOD, bright and functional sun room has been grafted on to the back of 22 Old Court, a detached four-bed family home by Ballincollig’s Greenfields scheme west of Cork city.

Carrying an asking price of €395,000 via Sheila O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald, this trading up family home has 1,650 sq ft of space thanks to its well-conceived back extensions. And, in addition, a floored and adaptable attic (with pull-down stairs) adds to the tally for families needing extra space, for study, storage or play.

No 22 has a formal 14’ by 12’ main reception room, with cast iron fireplace, the rear family room extends and opens out, via glazed concertina folding doors, to an extra-long sunny back room extension, with glazing at the far end, side and again in patio doors, along with overhead roof skylights to get the brightness up.
