Trading up: South Innishannon €385,000

An angled hall and corridor links the two rectangular blocks of this four-bed family home called Rhiannon, a mile or two south of Innishannon, and about a 20-minute drive west from Cork city.

That angled link also houses a bright dining room, which has double door access at either end, to the living room one way, and to the kitchen the other way, and the dining room and living room also have double doors to a sheltered patio.

Rhiannon is new to market with agent Ernest Forde of Hodnett Forde, who guides at €385,000 and who says it’s very well designed and finished.
