Kincardine smart purchase

A GOOD, simple floor plan, and a guide price that’s exactly €1,000 for every day of the year — €365,000 — are attributes of Kincardine, a detached dormer home new to market just north of Cork city.

The four-bed home at Laharn, Carrig na Bhfear, is in smart order inside and out, only a few years old, and keeps most of its garden private to the rear, while the house is close to the front stone boundary wall, with a stone porch to match that wall and entrance pillars.

Selling agent Michael O’Donovan of Sherry FitzGerald says the site (about five miles from Cork city) is around half an acre, so this will make for a good family home, and one of its four bedrooms is en suite. All four bedrooms are upstairs, one per corner off the central landing.
