House of the week: Ballygarvan, Cork €475,000

Size: 150 (1,600 sq ft)

There’s a glorious glenside setting for Brookwood, a hideaway family home with stables, land, stream and tended gardens, all just a couple of miles from Cork airport.

New to market, and being sold by its downsizing owners who built this four-bed bungalow nearly 20 years ago, it is a very rare offer, largely due to its amount of ground and privacy, so close to the city.
