Appropriately for a house named for a magical realm in JRR Tolkien’s Middle Earth, this four-bed detached home has been transformed into a new version of itself.

Built in the 1920s, Lothlorien at the top of Larchfield Close, Commons Rd, was bought about 20 years ago by the current owners who set about overhauling and modernising it outside and in. Now this 219sq m house has a B energy rating and lots of living space.

To one side of the hallway is a long meticulously coordinated kitchen/dining room linking on to a triple aspect sun room. On the other side of the entrance are two separate living rooms, one of which is set up as a home gym. There’s also a detached bar which could be turned into a workshop or studio.

There are four double bedrooms reached via oak staircases — two of these share a ‘Jack-and-Jill’ bathroom. And on the top level there’s the main bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and a spacious en suite.

The large back garden has a lawn surrounded by mature planting with a winding path leading to a secluded vegetable garden as well as to a sheltered patio complete with palm trees.

“It’s a fabulous house and has been renovated totally. it’s a great spot with a beautiful private garden — actually overlooking Na Piarsaigh GAA,” notes agent Michael Downey of ERA Downey McCarthy.

Interest in €595k Lothlorien is expected to come from people living locally who are keen to trade up to a sizeable home where all the heavy work has been done already.

And there’s handy access to the N20 or New Mallow Rd for heading to Blarney or to Blackpool and the city centre.

VERDICT: The ultimate trade-up near Blackpool and the city centre.
