A quarter of a century old, this four-bed detached country home is "a blank canvas for a purchaser to let their imagination run wild".

So says agent Kyle Kennedy of Kennedy Estate Agents about this 3,100 sq ft home sitting on three-quarters of an acre at Walshtownmore in Dungourney.

The owners have moved to a new home in the area but renovated the top floor shower room pretty recently before that.

"It's a fine stand of a home — a whole lot of house with plenty space around it and attractive stone boundary walls to the front," notes Mr Kennedy, adding that this home also comes with a large detached block-built garage. "This garage has a roller door, is fully powered, and has a mezzanine area. There's potential to get planning permission to convert it to an independent unit or a home office or gym."

A growing family would definitely enjoy the space and versatility of four separate downstairs living rooms as well as a bright sun room. And upstairs there are four bedrooms, two with their own bathrooms. And on the top level there are two more Velux-windowed rooms and a bathroom.

It's a 12-minute spin to Midleton and Cork city is a 30-minute drive. Cork Airport is 34 km or about 35 minutes away.

There has already been interest in this €495k home from people living overseas who are keen to come back to Cork; with enquiries also from US buyers; and from people living locally in Midleton who want to trade up to a detached house that's got a nice bit of land around it.

VERDICT: The external views are well sorted with attractive countryside and farmland surrounding this C1-rated home. And inside this family home are neutral coloured tile and wooden floors with neutral paint on the walls so new owners could definitely easily decorate to their own tastes and style.
