Property: Four fab homes on sale in Cork for €500,000

Templebryan North two miles outside Clonakilty has four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Are you looking for your dream home in Cork? Or perhaps trading up or down to fit your current circumstances?

A new year can often mean a resolution to make that leap, as the property market is coming out of its Christmas slumber.

I have found four properties on sale across Cork right now which might suit your needs - all for around the €500,000 mark.

One of them is close to the city, while the other three are dotted around our beautful county - in the towns of Kinsale, Clonakilty, and Skibbereen.

Happy house-hunting!

1. Templebryan North, Clonakilty, Co. Cork, €495,000

This exceptional home is just two miles from the bustling tourist hot spot of Clonakilty, and within easy reach of some of the finest beaches West Cork has to offer.

The four-bedroom and four-bathroom home has no less than 232 square metres to its name, and an impressive BER rating of B2.

On the market with Martin Kelleher for €495,000, there will be no shortage of interest as this home offers country living, and loads of space, with 0.6 acres coming with the property, while it is a commute of under one hour to Cork city.

The beams in the reception room and kitchen give the place a rural tinge, while the Belfast sink and classic-style fireplace are a nod to the owners’ eye for interiors.

Whatever the season, the entrance hall will be welcoming and warm, and with three reception rooms, a family will have room to relax, entertain, or have a quiet space for reading or pursuing hobbies.

Every room makes the most of the natural light, and the views out to the garden and on to the countryside are a treat for the senses.

The curved design of the home is inviting, and the only question left for you to ponder is what colour you might choose for the exterior, and what additions you might add to your garden to enhance the overall sense of space, comfortable living, peace and tranquillity.

2. 10, North Street, Skibbereen, €450,000

This may be an investment opportunity ripe for the taking.

Estate agent Pat Maguire is very excited about this property, coming with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, as it presents a golden opportunity for someone to combine a home with a business, to create an Airbnb within the town, or to continue to use the property as a bed and breakfast.

10, North Street, Skibbereen, boasts seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms and could make a bed and breakfast or Airbnb business, or be rented out

The current owners have decided to downsize, leaving the new owners to step into this already well-established business.

Run as a bed and breakfast for more than 20 years, this property is only metres from the water front. There is public parking 100 metres away with ample spaces.

There is room out the back to add a patio or conservatory, to create an area that will make the most of the riverside for yourself or your guests, or your tenants.

The building is in excellent structural condition and with en suite rooms, and with excellent broadband, so the possibilities are endless.

3. 7, Ocean Drive Road, Kinsale, €495,000

Our third property is in the much-loved tourist hot-spot of Kinsale.

On the market with Michael Piggott, this three-bedroom and three-bathroom property will draw a lot of interest as you can pretty much walk in the door, drop your bags in this luxurious home, and begin your new life right away!

The interiors are second to none, and the soft, muted pallet continues throughout the home, while the exceptional eye for detail that the current owner possesses means you need not lift a finger when you move in.

An A-rated energy-efficient home of this calibre in Kinsale for just under €500,000 is sure to attract a lot of attention.

Perhaps a downsizer will covet this home, or the retired couple who wish to enjoy all that Kinsale can offer.

The back garden is a dream for those who like to entertain or enjoy lazy summer evenings outdoors, and the garden room could also be used as a home office or a studio for the aspiring artist.

4. 8, Edgewood, Glenville, Carrignavar, Co. Cork, €495,000

Our final property is a gem in Carrignavar, just north of Cork city, which is ideal for the growing family.

At more than 2,200ft, this four-bedroom and three-bathroom property has an impressive BER of B3, and offers space, a beautiful interior, plentiful parking, and is just a short commute to the city.

On the market with Casey and Kingston, this property ticks every box for those seeking a beautiful family home.

The neutral colour palate runs seamlessly through the home, and the clear windows shine light through the entire property without interruption. There is nothing left for the next owner to do, only unpack.

The clever use of recess lighting, and the classic black stove with warm cream walls, are complimented by the clean sleek lines. The kitchen is to die for!

Bright, modern, spacious and inviting, the flow between kitchen, dining and sunroom is seamless.

There were no short-cuts taken with the interior design, and no expense spared, as even the utility room has been treated to the same attention with no detail being overlooked.

With three reception rooms, there is scope to add another bedroom if needed, or to add an office if you’re working from home. The added bonus of a walk-in wardrobe is the cherry on the cake!

With the city only 20 minutes away, this home ticks every box and is surely worth adding to any viewing list.

For more details and to arrange a viewing, Casey an Kingstons office on 021 4271127. See https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/detached-house-8-edgewood-glenville-carrignavar-co-cork/5951109
