You can call the bonus space with this Dungourney house your working-at-home base or you can consider it your ‘weekend headquarters’, but definitely not a mere ‘shed’.

The detached garage/workshop with roller doors to the front and at one side of the back at Grove View in Ballysimon is proving to be quite the selling point for prospective buyers of this three-bed bungalow.

This 117sq m detached home, sitting on a well-maintained 0.64 acres, is 4.8km from Midleton town.

“We are getting interest from first-time buyers who want a doer-upper that they can really put their own spin on. And the shed is also proving quite the draw — I have had quite a few women ringing saying their husbands are so interested in the property because of this. Men love a big shed,” notes Adrianna Hegarty of Hegarty Properties.

Potential buyers include boat-owners, people considering the shed for housing vintage cars, and people keen to have a sizeable workshop at home.

The property is jointly listed with Midleton-based Wallis Auctioneers.

Built in 1977 this family-owned property has its living space — living room and kitchen/dining room — to one side of the hallway with three bedrooms on the other side.

There is also a dressing room which could be used as a fourth bedroom or den.

Solar water heating panels have been installed on the rear roof of the house which is on the market for €360k.

VERDICT: An ideal family doer-upper on a spacious site, complete with a great workshop for hobbyists or home businesses.
