A country gem with a sparkle of city sophistication
The property was bought by an enthusiastic couple, who loved the setting high above the river at Carrigadrohid and lavished further cash and care on upgrades.
Their attention to detail even saw them invest in a water filtration system, handily with a 75% grant assistance from the local authority. They also immersed themselves in the community which they say is warm, welcoming and with a legendary local, too.
Now, after work upstairs at attic level, insulation heaped up and pumped into cavities, window and boiler upgrades and more, plus a stunning fresh interior with slick kitchen, it’s back for sale, with a €380,000 price guide quoted by Tom Heffernan of Sherry FitzGerald Hinchion in nearby Macroom.
He says the property is exceptional, immaculate and commandingly set, bright and south-facing, and on 0.6 of an acre, all only a 20 to 30 minute valley commute from Cork city, CUH, EMC and Apple. It’s a country setting, with a bit of city pad sophistication.
Decked in front with stone trim, porthole windows and big bay windows for those views, it’s now got up to five bedrooms (two plus bathroom upstairs), and large, airy rooms. Even the hall is big, pierced by open tread stairs and setting a decor tone of woodland with threads of green that’s subtly picked up in feature papers and decor in many other rooms. The deft decor hand, and eye, even sees the 21’ by 19’ kitchen/dining area ceiling painted a chalky mustard hue — and it’s hot.
The main lounge is equally large, and other rooms include dining/office, gym/fifth bedroom and laundry. The house could easily accommodate a self-contained apartment if needed, off a rear hall, while the exceptional kitchen opens to a big deck — almost a viewing platform.
