THE PINK AND PURPLE touches throughout 3 Brookwood in Cork may not be to everyone’s taste but there’s no denying that it’s a great place to start if space in a handy location and lots of privacy are what you’re after.
A five-bed home that’s a walk away from town, it’s one of 12 bespoke homes deep in the Carrigaline woods. The newest of the lot, the house was built 13 years ago, so it has a great A3 BER, solar panels and underfloor heating. This 520 m² home, along with its neighbours, has been designed to preserve the woodlands.
On the market for €1.5 million, a sense of space is bound to hit you as soon as you walk through the door. Great flow from the hallway up to the lounge and on to the dining and kitchen area is achieved by a broken plan layout that lets as much natural light in as possible.
The kitchen designed by House of Coolmore is a modern monochrome space that blends into the dining area. The cream porcelain tiled floors ensure great flow from here into the living spaces. Underfloor heating on this level adds luxury as well as cosiness essential for such a large space that could seem quite cold.
Four of the bedrooms are located on the same level of the lounges, dining room and kitchen and they all have en suite bathrooms. The l-shape of the home means that they are kept well away from any noise and activity.
There is a fifth bedroom on the level below, which also has its own bathroom and lots of privacy so it would be ideal for guests wishing to stay for a while. The floor is also home to a number of useful rooms – a utility, a home office and even a gym. This level also accesses the garage, as well as a patio, and a plant room, playroom and family room complete the floor.
On the very top level of this massive home is a sunroom. Accessed by a flight of stairs from the kitchen, it gives super countryside views as it’s wrapped in glazing. Double doors step out onto a roof deck that’s the same size as the room within. With walls painted in a punch of purple along with the pergola, it’s no doubt a great space to entertain in.
There’s no doubt that this house has spades of space inside as well as out. No. 3 is surrounded by nature and its design makes the most of it. Whoever buys this unique home is bound to encounter daily sightings of deer, squirrels, rabbits and other wildlife.
For keen gardeners, the site presents plenty of opportunity whether your style is wild or structured. It may feel rural once you are within its grounds, yet the city is a short trip away and you can walk to many everyday amenities.
