A CGI rendering of a finished home at Curragh Ard. Daft Daft

TUCKED BETWEEN TWO hills sits the northwest Cork town of Kanturk. You’re never far from water in Kanturk, or a bridge – the rivers Allow and Dallow meet in the town, and the stone bridges over them are some of the area’s most recognisable landmarks.

Curragh Ard is a new development from Murphy New Homes on the southwest side of the town, within walking distance of all the action. It features 25 spacious three and four bed detached and semi detached homes, with prices from €325,000.

The first phase at Curragh Ard is almost sold out, with a very small number of homes – including the Type E four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached build – remaining. This is a truly spectacular property, with 137 sq m of floor space.

Like at homes at Curragh Ard, there’s a private garden to the rear and parking for two cars to the front. Type E homes have the added benefit of some green space to the front, too, ideal for floral arrangements, trees, or an added area for kids to play.

As you’re buying a new build, it’ll come as no surprise that this home has an A2 rating for energy. And well as high levels of insulation and air tightness, there’s an air-to-water heat pump with easy-to-operate controls, so keeping on top of your energy usage will be simple.

The drive from Curragh Ard into nearby Mallow is 20 minutes, and to Cork city is around 50 minutes. But Kanturk has plenty of amenities of its own too: you’ll find a SuperValu, a Lidl, a GAA club, schools, a church, shops, cafés and convenience stores all close by.

With amenities for convenience, a handy city commute, and plenty of space inside and out, a home at Curragh Ard is a great pick for a growing family or anyone looking to size up.
