Sure, it’s a three-bed semi-d but there’s just that little bit extra going on here. Just like when a best-selling book has a bonus chapter at the end of the novel, there’s a bookish extra at this Midleton home.

In the under-the-stairs spot, which is often a coat cupboard or downstairs toilet, No 6 Rock Brook at Baneshane has a charming book nook, with storage.

The really sloping part of under the stairs is still storage so that's handy.

And the owners didn’t sacrifice the convenience of a downstairs toilet either as that’s also located off the hallway.

Though if your books have transferred to a device now this spot could be easily converted to other storage. There is a pantry cupboard in the open-plan kitchen which has versatile banquette seating in the dining area.

The neutral decor here is given a nice jolt of colour with the and a bright red Belling Kensington electric induction range cooker. Double doors lead to the back garden which has a log cabin which could be a nifty home gym or home office space.

The owners, who bought this new-built home in 2019 (for €259,912, according to the Property Price Register) are moving to a bigger property in the east Cork area so this A3-rated house is on the market now for €445k.

Other 'extras' include solar thermal tubes (for water), 2.6kW of solar PV and heat recovery unit, an EPH Ember app to control the heating, as well as a Zappi electric vehicle charger at the front of the house.
