Co Cork: €675,000:A pretty traditional four-bedroom bungalow on an acre on the western outskirts of Cork city is quoting over €675,000 through James G Coughlan & Associates.

Winsley is at Ballinvrinsig in the townland of Waterfall on the Bandon Road. The location is a couple of miles from Bishopstown and a reasonable drive to Cork University Hospital.

Neat as ninepins, Winsley stands on a lawned hillock, edged with conifers, colourful shrubs and flower borders. Bay windows survey the fields and hills beyond the garden.

Winsley was bought as a transitional home a year ago by a family who proceeded to transform the 139sq m (1,500sq ft) interior into its present impeccable condition.

Chimneys were removed, new windows installed, polished wood floors laid, new bathrooms installed and the entire was re-wired and plumbed. Several small rooms were knocked into one very spacious living space, with a sittingroom, dining area in mid-section and a new oak kitchen at the far end facing the garden.

The living/dining/kitchen is floored in French oak, with two patio doors accessing the garden. Oak kitchen units are topped with granite and a full range of new built-in appliances is included. The utility has fitted laundry units.

All four bedrooms are fair-sized doubles, some larger than others. Bedroom one takes in one of the front bay windows and is fitted with a bank of stylish wardrobes. An en suite has a walk-in shower and heated towel rail.

Three further bedrooms include fitted wardrobes. Bathroom ware is top range, with a bath and separate step-in pump shower.

As well-ordered as the interior, the gardens include a paved courtyard, detached double garage and electronic gates with security lights.
