Set within the mature and established residential area of Shanakiel, this stunning three-bedroom home has been extensively upgraded and extended to an extremely high standard.

(1,001 sq. ft.), No. 66 combines beautifully presented accommodation with an impressive rear extension, an excellent B energy rating, a private south-facing low-maintenance rear garden and a highly convenient location within easy reach of Cork City. Perhaps most impressive is how successfully the property combines the character and setting of an established residential home with the finish, comfort and energy efficiency expected of a contemporary property. The Property The ground-floor accommodation has been cleverly designed around modern family living. To the front is a bright and welcoming living room with a wood-burning stove, providing a comfortable separate reception space. Moving through the property, the kitchen/dining accommodation forms the heart of the home and flows naturally into the impressive extended family living area. The rear extension is undoubtedly one of the outstanding features of No. 66. Bright, spacious and filled with natural light, it has transformed the ground-floor accommodation and provides the additional living space that is so important for modern family life. A second wood-burning stove within the kitchen/dining/living area adds further warmth and character. The connection between the extended living accommodation and the private south-facing rear garden and patio is particularly attractive, creating an excellent space for entertaining, outdoor dining and family life. Upstairs, the property provides three bedrooms together with the main family bathroom, completing a particularly well-balanced family home. The property is presented to an exceptionally high standard throughout and offers prospective purchasers a genuine turn-key opportunity. Energy Efficiency & Heating One of the major features of No. 66 is its excellent B energy rating. For purchasers increasingly conscious of energy efficiency, comfort and running costs, this is an important feature and reflects the substantial upgrading works already undertaken throughout the property. Heating is provided by mains gas central heating, complemented by: Wood-burning stove – front living room Wood-burning stove – kitchen/dining/living area Together with the upgraded windows and insulation, these improvements contribute to a warm and energy-efficient family home.

The front garden is finished in astroturf, providing a neat, attractive and virtually maintenance-free approach to the house. The property also enjoys the benefit of an attractive green area immediately to the front, adding to the open and established feel of Briars Court. To the rear is a private south-facing garden and patio area, which has also been designed to be low maintenance. Its south-facing orientation, combined with the direct connection to the extended family living accommodation, creates a superb outdoor area for relaxing, entertaining and outdoor dining without the upkeep normally associated with a traditional garden.
