HAVING built 22-home Seafield in Shanagarry and nine-home Wheat Field in Garryvoe, Tom Beausang of Beausang Construction had an easier task at Ardnahinch Cross, where he delivered a one-off, rather than an entire estate.

Displaying his trademark crisp, contemporary, generously-glazed finish and following an established pattern of best-in-class insulation (BER is an A2), this latest Beausang home is even bigger than houses in the Seafield and Wheat Field schemes. At 215 sq m, it has a tremendous main living space, (interior images used here are staged using CGI for visualisation purpose) which incorporates kitchen/dining and living, encased in glazing, with sliding patio doors to a large patio and a striking picture window.

Staged kitchen/dining room

Also on the ground floor is a separate sitting room, a utility, two double bedrooms and the family bathroom, while two extra large doubles, both en suite, take up most of the room overhead.

Staged living room

Playing into the excellent energy rating is ground floor underfloor heating, triple glazed windows and air-to-water heating.

Selling the property is agent Adrianna Hegarty of Hegarty Properties and she says “no expense was spared” in building this bright, light-filled home.

Given the quality, and the setting – a few minutes from pretty Shanagarry village and at the fringes of Ardnahinch Bay – it's not a surprise that it’s already under offer, at the asking of €600,000.

Ardnahinch Beach

You’ll need more though because you’ll be fitting your own kitchen andi nstalling sanitary ware in the already tiled bathrooms.

VERDICT: Families in the market for an East Cork future-proofed trade-up will vie with well-heeled downsizers for this quality coastal home
