A Laura Ashley looker

With a vendor in the fashion business, it’s no wonder this pad is turning heads, writes Tommy Barker

There’s a feminine flair to the decor and design touches at this big dormer home near Cork’s Timoleague — so it’s no surprise to learn that the vendor is in the fashion and retail business. As a result, this Kilavarrig Crossroads pad is going to sell on its Laura Ashley looks and wallpapers, as much as its property attributes.

This is a sizeable enough dormer home of 2,800 sq ft, and right alongside is a detached garage with overhead 280 sq ft studio apartment — a feature which became increasingly prevalent during the past decade when people came to build one-offs. Not only is the house and apartment all decked out in style, the grounds of 1.2 acres also are showing well, complete with decking, hot tub and patio furniture.
