Viewers of this modest 1950s-built cottage at Yellowford near Ballymacoda village in East Cork will be surprised by the modernity of the interior and by the size of the 1.13 acre site that comes with it.

Selling with Adrianna Hegarty of Hegarty Properties, it’s a two-bed detached cottage with a guide of €250,000.

“The current owner purchased it in 2020, at which point it had already been renovated and fitted with modern timber kitchen units, timber flooring and a spiral staircase leading to the upper floor," she reveals.

Inside the 65 sq m property there’s an open-plan kitchen/ living space which has a kitchen with a breakfast bar at one side and a TV-watching area at the other. There's also a utility and a bathroom at the rear while the upper floor has two bedrooms.

Outside in the extremely sizable triangle-shaped garden, there are some old outhouses, a large parking area, an expansive area of lawn and a disused pond. The cottage has a pedestrian entrance at the front as well as a high gated vehicular entrance located a little further down the road.

“Located just a few km from Ballymacoda village and 18km from Midleton, this would be ideal for young couple looking for space in the country” says Ms Hegarty.
