Country living with a bit of grace at Vicarstown, Blarney
YOU get a private world as part of the pastoral picture at this good-sized detached family home, set by a stream, on 2.5 acres of land, in Cork’s greater Lee valley catchment, at Vicarstown.
Close to Blarney and Tower villages and a drive of 15 minutes or so from Cork city’s suburbs, this is country living with a bit of grace, thanks in the main to the quality of the grounds, with lawns, masses of tree planting, and the presence of a gurgling stream, with bridge and stepping stone.
The main dormer-style house has four bedrooms, two per level, and one at ground has an en suite, three-corner bath. There’s also a country style kitchen, with glass conservatory off, as well as a sitting room/dining room which is part split level, with a tiled floor, with integrated corner stove in a chimney breast, and a warm, westerly aspect.
Overall condition of this multi-gable-fronted home is very good, and in addition to the main house there’s a double garage, and a 1,400 sq ft shed/outbuilding for storage.
Agent Terence O’Leary of Murray Browne guides the entire as one lot, at €550,000, and says it is peaceful, easily accessible, and spacious, with the gardens and the stream as a real attraction.
Go with the flow.
