 You don't get too many properties on three quarters of an acre within sight of a pharmacy and post office while still only 10 minutes from St Patrick's St.

Shangri La on Silversprings Road in Mayfield is one of these multi-faceted gems. It's a four-bed detached bungalow with a regular bus service outside the front door and a good amount of versatile space at the back.

A family home, a portion of the land was used as workshops while still featuring a garage, patio and mature trees. The family are now downsizing so this property is on the market seeking offers above €600k.

Agent Daniel Fleming of Blarney-based Daniel Fleming Auctioneers Ltd highlights the wide range of options this generous space gives: "There is vast scope to substantially extend the existing house, or you could look at getting planning permission for further houses on the land which could be a great option for families looking to the future for children. Or you could create beautiful gardens or install your own workshop here."

The house itself, with a C energy rating, has four bedrooms to one side and the living room, dining room and kitchen at the other end. 

VERDICT: The sheer flexibility of the site really gives this property the edge.
