Trading Up: Rathduff, Co Cork €350,000

Size: 196sq m (2,100sq ft)

Greenwood, on three acres by a woodland stream just north of Cork City by Rathduff, is an adaptable home with some exceptional features.

So says selling agent Karen O’Sullivan of Thomas J O’Driscoll auctioneers, who has it for sale for €350,000, adding that it has a very large detached garage building with business scope.

In addition, there’s a one-bed attached granny flat next to the house, which has a kitchen/dining room, plus sun room, and is wheelchair accessible with a chair-friendly wet-room/shower room.

There’s a good level of finish in the main three-bed home, with a Sorn kitchen range, plus a wood-burning stove in the open-plan lounge, next to another conservatory.

One of the three bedrooms here is downstairs, and is en suite, near a bathroom and utility.

Overall standard of the house and granny flat is high, and the detached garage of about 1,000sq ft has a roller shutter door and services like power and water, and has scope for home office/business use, for a vet or other treatments, and given the rural setting and site of three acres there may be scope for riding centre use, says Ms O’Sullivan.

VERDICT: A whole lot of elements in this mix, just off the main Cork-Mallow road.
