Pre-cooked in Ovens

Location: Ovens, Cork

There’s a touch of ‘before and after’ cottage-type homes new to market at Knockanemore, Ovens, just a few miles west of Cork city. And, given they are just a quarter mile or so apart, and listed with the same agents Sherry FitzGerald, they are worth viewing back to back.

Dearer of the two, and a fully finished and extended entity with a bit of design flair, is Teach Umadora, an extended stone-built cottage, now a four-bed home of 1,500 sq ft, with bright modern living room behind.
