Set on 0.56 acres and surrounded by fields this detached family home with a south-facing back garden is primed to make the most of sunny days.

Built just shy of 30 years ago there is mature planting and hedging surrounding the four-bed house at Kilbane, Ovens in Cork.

While not old, the phrase ‘you’ve aged well’ applies here as upgrades including pumped walls, attic insulation and a boiler replacement have yielded a ‘green mortgage’ friendly B3 BER.

“This is a good solid house, built by the current owners, which can be a complete family home now for new owners,” notes Kyle Kennedy of Kennedy Estate Agents.

There is a stone boundary to the front which picks up the stone surrounding the front door. Inside there’s solid wood flooring in the hall, living room, kitchen and sun room.

“The internal layout was pecifically designed with families in mind, offering an open plan kitchen/dining/living area to the rear with two additional rooms at the front,” adds Mr Kennedy.

It’s an ‘easy’ countryside setting with Ovens village just 10 minutes’ drive away and you’ve got Ballincollig within 15 minutes with its secondary schools, and major supermarkets and sports facilities.

The N22 gives good commuting access to MTU, UCC and Cork city.

Upstairs the main bedroom is ensuite and the other three upper level bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes. The fifth bedroom is downstairs and could also work as a home office.

Staying with practicalities, the utility room really lives up to its name with built-in units, tiled flooring, a sink and an American-style fridge freezer.

Outside, there’s an up-and-over door garage and a tarmac driveway.

Kitchen appliances — hob, dishwasher, and double oven — are also included in the sale.

VERDICT: The best of both worlds with an expansive family home in a pleasant rural setting.
