HOUSE OF THE WEEK: Kilbrittain four-bed with bonus self-contained apartment

Relaxed living that’s in easy reach of beaches.

SPACE and sea views are two of the key ingredients which will attract buyers to Clonkellure, a property on the market outside Kilbrittain.

The 3,700sq ft home sits on two acres and has gone on the market with DNG Galvin for €670,000.

Clonkellure is located at Clashavanna, about a kilometre outside the much loved village.

Auctioneer Majella Galvin says the property is in ‘turn key condition’. ‘It has just hit the market and is already generating a lot of interest, especially from overseas,’ said Majella.

The four-bedroom home – with the option to convert one of the rooms into a further bedroom, features huge ground floor space, with an open-plan kitchen/dining area.

There’s fantastic sea views from the dining area and an opportunity to soak up some sunshine on the south-facing sunken patio.

Back inside there’s also relaxing space in the lounge, living room, open-plan kitchen dining area, utility room, guest WC, office, family bathroom, and four bedrooms.

Two of the bedrooms are ensuite.

The attic space has been converted into a self-contained apartment or granny flat, and could be ideal for accommodating guests or as it is currently used, as an additional bedroom/office/games area.

Clonkellure has been extensively updated and recent installations include new triple-glazed windows and doors, and a condensing boiler, resulting in an impressive B2 energy rating.

The property uses oil-fired central heating.

Outside, there’s a large detached garage to the rear of this home. The lower garden features apple trees, raspberry bushes, raised vegetable beds, and a chicken run.

Kilbrittain National School is just 1km away, while there are a host of secondary school options in Bandon, or indeed Kinsale.

And the proximity to beaches and the joys of the outdoors are another attraction.
