Pristine home perfect for family with a passion for the outdoors

t’s a case of horses for courses out at Mishells Cross, just a few miles north of Bandon, where a 30-year old pristine family home on 3.5 acres has paddocks for the ponies, and a tack room which is, effectively, part of the house. It’s apt, as horses appear to have been an integral part of the departing family owners’ lifestyle for years.
Now for sale with family grown, and flown, Mishells House offers the chance to give the same outdoors pursuits passion to new occupants: it’s listed with estate agent Brian Olden of Cohalan Downing, with a €675,000 price tag, and that’s for a generous home of 5,000 sq ft, with suitable sweeping open tread staircase in hardwood and wrought iron, Aga in the kitchen, and a top-lit sunroom overlooking fields of green, in a strong, prosperous farm hinterland, about a 30-minute commute from Cork city and international airport.
