SITTING ON CORK’S Model Farm Rd, just outside Ballincollig, is Dunmore House, a beautiful four-bedroom detached property.
The home’s current owners oversaw the design and building of the property around a decade ago, but prior to that lived for 28 years in Dunmore House’s bigger and older counterpart, a residence called Glengara.
In fact, Dunmore House was built on what was once Glengara’s tennis court and garden area, according to the Irish Examiner.
The property enjoys all the benefits of modern design, and the skills of architect Stephen Doyle can be seen throughout, with double-height ceilings and corner windows making the most of the property’s south-westerly aspect.
The entrance hall features a beautiful oak-and-glass staircase, with a chandelier hanging above.
Open-plan living is at the core of this property’s design, and the kitchen, dining and sitting areas are all housed in one large ground-floor space.
From the dining area, there’s direct access to a large rear paved patio, surrounded by mature shrubbery, perfect for al fresco dining in the warmer months.
A large bedroom/family room, en-suite bathroom, utility room, guest WC and laundry room all sit on the other end of the ground floor, away from the busy family space.
Upstairs are three more bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom is truly the stand-out element of the upstairs accommodation, with a first floor balcony that’s as large as the bedroom itself, plus a walk-in wardrobe space.
From Dunmore House, you’ll be in Cork city in 15 minutes, or Cork airport in 20 minutes. Nearby Ballincollig is well served by local bus routes, and the property is located close to CIT, UCC, and a wide range of primary and secondary schools.
Dunmore House is on sale for €825,000 with Sherry FitzGerald Cork via Daft.ie.
