Una McEvoy and Don O'Sullivan are selling their west Cork farmhouse for €;585,000
What and where
Knockanreagh, a farmhouse near Bandon in west Cork for €585,000, is a four-bedroom house on one acre of beautiful grounds.
Its traditional Irish exterior opens into a modern, bright and spacious home with white walls, tiled floors and a distinctly Continental feel. The house is ideally located: tucked away off the Bandon-Kilbrittain road, it is a mile from Bandon, the gateway to west Cork.
Describe the house
Knockanreagh is approached via a private driveway, which sweeps into a large gravelled area. The house is stylish and full of character. Downstairs there is a sittingroom, office/second sittingroom, kitchen and laundry - all with cosy under-floor heating. The heart of the house is a bright and spacious kitchen-cum-dining area with bespoke solid wood kitchen units, granite worktops and range cooker.
Upstairs, the main bedroom has built-in mirrored Sliderobes and a tranquil seating area with views over the west Cork countryside and an historic standing stone. There are three other good-sized bedrooms, as well as a large main bathroom and guest shower room.
The mature garden consists of extensive lawns, shrubberies and a lovely decking area. There's also a garage with a loft offering plenty of extra space, which would make an ideal artist studio or business premises.

What's the best thing about it?
It's a one off! Knockanreagh is so peaceful and hidden yet it is only a mile from bustling Bandon. There's also plenty of space - inside and out - and the house has plenty of appealing features and scope for further development.
And the neighbourhood?
Bandon is 20 miles west of Cork city and 25 minutes from Cork Airport. It has plenty of small town delights and is growing and developing. It is a lively market town with a farmers' market on Saturdays and a choice of restaurants, cafés and gourmet food stores and boutiques. The house at Knockanreagh is also well situated for exploring the magic and beauty of west Cork.
Who'd like your home?
