Room to Improve is one of RTÉ’s most popular TV shows but there’s little improvement to be made to this 4 bed home at Currabeg, Ovens, Co Cork.
Originally a cottage from the 1800s, the property has been extended twice since the original build and is now a truly stunning property that mixes the old with the new to great effect.
Described by selling agents Sherry FitzGerald Cork as “a very special family home”, you are sure to be impressed by what it has to offer from the moment you arrive through the front door. Upon entering, you are greeted with some original features such as sash windows and exposed bricks walls that really give character to the home.
The current owners have renovated the property throughout the years to leave it in turnkey condition and it currently boasts a B3 energy rating. They have utilised the home to its full capacity with storage in nearly every room.
There is a great blend of living and bedroom accommodation. One of the key features downstairs is the large open plan living/kitchen and dining area. Along the hallway there is also a utility room and three large double bedrooms, ensuite and family bathroom. Upstairs there is a movie room, kids’ playroom and large main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.
The property also comes with full planning permission for an 89sqm double storey detached garage.
The woodland setting also makes you feel like you are in the middle of the wilderness whilst having the convenience of being just a stone’s throw from Ballincollig town. It offers ample parking and benefits from a patio area with water feature, raised flower beds and seasonal flowers. There is also a raised decking that wraps around to the side of the house from the rear that extends the living space into the outdoors. From here you can enjoy splendid views over Ballincollig and Ovens.
Set on a private and meticulously landscaped site of approximately half an acre, the home is within minutes of the Ballincollig by-pass road and is within 15 minutes’ drive from a range of amenities including Munster Technological University, University College Cork, Cork University Hospital, Bons Secours Hospital, Cork Airport and Macroom. Other amenities include The Lee Valley Golf Course, Farran Forest Park, Local School and Crèche, and Eire Og GAA club.
