Description

Introducing Brook Lodge, a substantial four bedroomed detached home positioned on a most private site just off Donnybrook Hill meaning it enjoys the convenience of being within easy reach of Douglas Village and Cork city whilst also benefitting from complete privacy and a sense of seclusion from the wooded area to the rear of the property. Upon entering, you are met with a large cobble lock driveway that offers ample parking space for several cars which also leads to the basement level where there is a garage door to allow for sheltered parking or storage. Constructed in 2000, this home was cleverly designed to seamlessly combine style and practicality - which it has achieved perfectly. The well thought out layout also means that all reception rooms enjoy great natural light with the kitchen / dining room, lounge and living room all facing either south or west. Accommodation throughout the house is generously proportioned and consists of an entrance hall, study, living room, lounge, kitchen / dining room, utility and guest WC on the ground floor. On the first floor, there are four spacious bedrooms, shower room and main bathroom. The feeling of space and openness is further enhanced by the higher than standard ceiling heights on the ground floor and very tasteful neutral colour scheme and decor, creating a very pleasant atmosphere throughout the house. Overall, this truly is a fantastic home that can cater for the needs of any family with the added benefits of being in turnkey condition and an impressive B2 BER meaning the new owners need to do nothing only move in. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate all this home has to offer.
