SET ON ONE acre of mature grounds and with uninterrupted views of the countryside, Rock Lodge feels a lot further than 20 minutes from Cork city.

Located south of the city centre in Ballinhassig, the five-bedroom property sits on an elevated site, with all reception rooms facing toward the garden area.

Maximising the use of space, the garden is set over two tiers. The lower tier includes a water feature and patio, while the upper tier is made up of a large lawn area.

A separate garden boasts mature planting, while the glass house on site is sure to be appreciated by those with a green thumb.

Inside, all reception rooms are linked, making it easy to move from the sun room to the living room, dining room and kitchen. A space that’s currently used as an art studio, which overlooks the gardens, could easily become a home office.

The reception hall is bright and airy, with a double height window, marble tiled floor and feature alcove. The living room enjoys a bay window and ornate marble fireplace, while the sun room features ceramic tiled floors, a solid oak fireplace with a granite insert and double doors which open to the patio area.

The kitchen features plenty of storage space with eye and floor level units, a large glass display cabinet and centre island, while the utility room offers further storage. An electric stove with a stone surround adds a cosy feel to the heart of the home. If you’re looking for a fuss-free move, all kitchen appliances are included in the sale.

One double bedroom and en-suite bathroom is on this floor, while upstairs there are four further bedrooms. All bedrooms are doubles, while three feature en-suite bathrooms and built-in units.

Ballinhassig village is less than a five-minute drive away from the property, as is Goggins Hill National School. Located just off the N71, Bishopstown, Wilton, Cork Airport and Kinsale are all within easy reach.
