A spot for name-calling

A decent dormer home with more than 2,000 sq ft is in a perfect walk-in condition, writes Tommy Barker.

THERE’S only one thing missing from this fine family home — and that’s a name. Naming this detached Co Cork village home will be a job for its next owner, as the vendor has moved on to another, even larger, new build, leaving this one-off as a testament to build and finish quality.

Set on a half acre in Donoughmore, a 15-minute spin from Blarney and easily reached from Cork City, Tower, Ballincollig and many other points of the compass, this is a new to market offering with estate agent Pat Falvey of Carlton Real Estate. He points out it’s one of those houses where the many parts are greater than the sum, or the price. “You couldn’t build and finish to this level for the asking price,” he says.
