SET just outside of picturesque Shannonvale and its old industrial mill and far older archaeology is this distinctive-shaped Templebryan one-off home, on 0.6 acres, ripe for being taken to a higher level.

Shannonvale's old flour mills complex is a local landmark by the tiny hamlet on the Argideen river

Bright internally due to the one room wide floor plan, and slightly crooked shape which sees lots of double and even triple aspect rooms, this two-storey, four-bed home arrives for sale at the year’s start with a €495,000 AMV, within a walk along a small country road of picturesque Shannonvale village, its local pub, its distinctive bridge on the Argideen river, and the eye-catching tall corn mill silo, topped with a red corrugated iron roof.

Interiors are bright

Selling agent Martin Kelleher is selling this c 2,500sq ft home, with en suites in two of its four bedrooms, noting its proximity to Clonakilty, and to the West Cork Technology Park by the N71.

It scores an excellent B2 BER, so a buyer can get a green rate mortgage, while those with green fingers will relish the scope in the grounds of 0.6 of an acres, seemingly crying out for landscaping; Mr Kelleher kindly describes the “leafy, lush grounds” as “informal gardens”.

It has services such as waste and water well, oil heating plus stove, and there’s fibre broadband nearby, so good for remote home working options too, while the proximity of the Technology Park may also draw buyer interest.

VERDICT: Home hunters should see the good design bones and brightness and the relative ease of putting a personal décor and upgraded finish stamp, inside and outside, on this one-off, with its floor plan looking a bit like an open armed welcome, one ready to embrace a few visual and horticultural uplifts as spring rolls around.
