House of the week

JOURNEY’S End towers above its setting in more ways than one — the extra-sized family home on a large plot is on the very uppermost site in Towering Heights, Tower village close to Blarney.

Built 10 years ago, the distinctive, splay-shaped home is a high-end market arrival, with some huge rooms and a smashing south-facing site, and comes up for sale with locally-living estate agent Robert Harkin of Harkin & Associates, guiding €649,000 and he says there’s nothing of this property’s calibre available in the area right now.

Journey’s End is wide, and deep, and its varied roof profiles help camoflague just how big a house this place really is; its site area of three-quarters of an acre is more than a suitable match for it, ringed immediately to the east and north by the russet woodland of the Blarney Estate.
