Town and country: Tour this modern west Cork gem with its five bedrooms and home gym
This house in Bandon ensures an easy commute to the city centre.
IF YOU HAVE been toying with the idea of moving to the real capital, take this beautiful and spacious home as a sign to start thinking about it more seriously.
Ideal for the hybrid worker, even if you are a proud Corkonian already, this house on the edge of west Cork and an easy commute to the city, may pique your interest, too.
A large five-bedder that’s 313 m² in size, this modern country home sits walking distance from the large town of Bandon and has great garden and woodland views. It’s now on the market for €675,000.
The home dates back to 2005 and, aside from the personal touch the may owner might like to add, is in walk-in condition with a cosy BER of B2.
The rooms are laid out over two floors and seeing as it’s south facing, there’s an abundance of natural light in most of the rooms.
With a choice of social spaces, the downstairs comprises two lounges, an open plan kitchen and dining space, that leads to the garden with patio, and a utility room.
And when it comes to high-end finishes, expect marble tiles, solid oak and walnut on the floors throughout this home.
Three of the five bedrooms are en suite with the remaining two left to share the family bathroom. Space is certainly no issue in this family home that’s well-suited to hosting overnight guests and entertaining.
With plenty of space in the garden for the kids, there’s also a block built detached building that’s 14m², fully insulated and bright. Currently a home gym, it further supports the point that this is a great home for those who only need to be in the office, whether that’s in Cork or further afield, once or twice a week.
Bandon is about 30 km from the city centre and the airport is even closer. Considered a gateway to scenic west Cork, a home in this area definitely provides the best of both worlds for families who want a good balance of town and country life.
Grianan, Dunmanway Road, Bandon, Co Cork is on the market for €675,000 through Hodnett Forde.
