Killard, Blarney, Co. Cork, T23 EY09, Ireland

This spacious, detached bungalow comes to the market in great decorative condition throughout, having been thoughtfully extended and lovingly maintained by its current owner. Standing on just over a quarter of an acre, it combines the peace of a countryside setting with exceptional convenience, located only three minutes' drive from Blarney, five minutes from Apple Hollyhill and within ten minutes of Cork City Centre.

On entering the property, you are greeted by a striking porch with vaulted ceiling and French doors that open into a welcoming hallway. The family room, with its open fire and ornate surround, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the magnificent open plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the true heart of the home. This space is flooded with natural light from eight Velux windows and extensive glazing and it connects seamlessly to the garden through French doors.

A feature stone wall with solid fuel stove provides a stunning focal point in the dining area adding both character and charm. A further reception room, currently used as a playroom, could equally serve as a fifth bedroom or home office and is enhanced by a beautiful bay window overlooking the gardens. The accommodation is completed by four generously sized bedrooms, including a master ensuite, along with a stylish family bathroom featuring a roll top bath, a spacious hot press and a large utility room.

The exterior of the property is equally impressive. Approached through a gated driveway, the front garden is laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and planting, creating an inviting first impression.

The attractive stone facade on the porch is complemented by a tarmacadam driveway offering ample private parking. Gated side access on both sides of the house leads to a superb rear garden, which can also be reached from the kitchen, dining and living area. A raised patio provides the ideal space for al fresco dining, while the lawned gardens, mature trees and thoughtful landscaping create a private and tranquil retreat.

Killard is situated just 1.9km from the village of Blarney, home to Blarney Castle, Blarney Woollen Mills, cafés, restaurants and bars. Families will appreciate the excellent primary and secondary schools in the area, as well as the local sporting clubs.

This is a great family home offering space, style and convenience.

Viewing is highly recommended.
