8 Green Gardens, New Road, Bandon, Co. Cork, P72FH58

A bright and spacious three-bedroom home with two reception rooms, garage and generous garden, all within an easy level stroll of Bandon town centre - a rare combination of space, independence and everyday convenience. There are houses that work well on paper, and then there are houses that simply make everyday life easier. Number 8 manages to do both. Occupying a wonderfully convenient position within Bandon town, this is a bright, generously proportioned three-bedroom semi-detached home with the sort of space, garden and independence that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Built in an era when rooms were allowed to breathe and gardens were expected to be used, it sits on its own plot fronting directly onto the public road, with a gated entrance, off-street parking and an attached garage. Inside one of the first things you notice is the light. The front of the house catches the morning sun, while the rear garden comes into its own later in the day. Extending to approximately 1,250 sq. ft., the accommodation is considerably more generous than many modern three-bedroom homes. There are two separate reception rooms, giving plenty of flexibility for family life, entertaining, a home office or simply the luxury of having one room where the television does not always win the argument. The kitchen/dining area is positioned to the rear overlooking the garden, while a downstairs toilet completes the ground-floor accommodation. Upstairs are three bedrooms and the family bathroom, with the master bedroom enjoying a particularly peaceful position to the rear. The generous garden beyond provides a surprisingly private outlook, helped by the elevated ground and neighbouring properties behind. Outside, the enclosed rear garden is a real bonus, large enough for children, gardening, a dog, summer barbecues or simply a deckchair and a good excuse to do absolutely nothing. The attached garage offers further storage, workshop potential or secure parking. And then there is the location. Whether you are buying your first home, raising a family or looking to downsize without surrendering convenience, it is difficult to imagine a more practical spot. There is a shop across the road, the local GAA grounds are close enough to hear the occasional cheer, and Bandon town centre is only a short walk away along a level street, an important detail if hills are not your favourite form of exercise. With all mains services connected and oil-fired heating, Number 8 is a home with space, light, independence and convenience in equal measure.
