- Open Plan Living Feature: Attractive barn-style sliding doors connect the sitting room to the kitchen and dining area, allowing you to seamlessly switch between an open-plan layout and cosy separated rooms.
- Cozy Multi-Fuel Stove: The inviting sitting room includes a multi-fuel burning stove, providing an efficient alternative heat source and creating a warm focal point for winter evenings.
- Generous Master Suite: The spacious master bedroom includes a dedicated walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom, offering a private and luxurious retreat away from the main family living areas.
- Dedicated Remote Office: A dedicated office space upstairs provides an ideal, quiet environment for remote workers or students needing a distraction-free zone for daily productivity.
- Private South Facing Garden: The large rear garden enjoys a sunny south-facing orientation and remains wonderfully un-overlooked, offering fantastic privacy for children playing, gardening, or hosting outdoor family gatherings.
- Scenic Countryside Views: The property benefits from lovely, uninterrupted views of the surrounding rural landscape, enhancing the daily living experience with a deep sense of calm and natural beauty.
- Ready To Move In: The inclusion of all whitegoods means you can settle into the property immediately without incurring the upfront costs and hassle of purchasing major kitchen appliances.

- Modern Connectivity Options: High-speed fibre broadband is available at the location, ensuring seamless internet access for remote working, streaming, and online gaming needs.
- Water Filtration Installed: A built-in water filtration system is already installed in the home, helping to improve water quality and protect your plumbing fixtures from hard water buildup.
- Local Public Transport: A local link bus service operates five times daily to Mallow and Mitchelstown, providing reliable public transportation options for commuters without a car.
- Convenient School Bus: A dedicated secondary school bus service operates to Doneraile and Mitchelstown, making morning school runs significantly easier for families with teenagers.
- Outdoor Recreation Proximity: The home is ideally positioned close to the Ballyhoura mountain-biking trails and Doneraile Park, offering fantastic weekend outdoor activities for nature lovers and active families.
- Stable Asking Price: The recorded asking price has remained stable at 335,000 euros without any increases or decreases, suggesting a realistic initial valuation by the vendor in the current market.
- Ample Bathroom Facilities: With three bathrooms in total, including an en-suite and a guest WC, morning queues are minimized and convenience is maximized for busy family routines.
- Substantial Utility Room: The large dedicated utility room is plumbed for both a washing machine and dryer, keeping laundry chores neatly tucked away from the main kitchen area.
But keep in mind:
- Unclear Floor Area: The listing fails to provide the exact floor area measurements, so you should independently verify the square footage to ensure it meets your space requirements.
- Missing Bedroom Count: The listing text contains conflicting information regarding whether the home has four or five bedrooms, requiring a physical inspection to confirm the exact room count.
- Property Type Omission: The official property type is not specified in the listing data, meaning you should check the exact legal classification and structural build type before proceeding.
- Lino Flooring Durability: Several bedrooms feature lino flooring rather than timber or carpet, which some buyers may find dated and wish to replace relatively soon after purchase.
- Oil Fired Heating Reliance: The property relies on oil-fired central heating, which requires monitoring oil tank levels and budgeting for volatile fossil fuel price fluctuations during winter months.
- Stira Attic Access: The primary access to the attic space is via a Stira ladder rather than a permanent staircase, which limits the ease of storing bulky items in the roof space.
- Rural Location Dependency: Living in a small rural village development means you will likely rely heavily on a private car for weekly grocery shopping, major medical visits, and employment commuting.
- Septic Tank Due Diligence: You must verify whether the development uses a communal waste treatment plant or individual septic tanks, and inspect their maintenance records and compliance certification.
- Management Company Fees: Small private developments often involve an annual management company fee for common area maintenance, so your solicitor should investigate these ongoing costs and covenants.
- Potential Traffic Noise: Depending on the exact placement of number 24 within the development of 25 houses, proximity to the entrance or communal parking bays could introduce occasional vehicle noise.
- Garden Maintenance Burden: The large private garden offers great recreation space, but keeping a substantial south-facing plot tidy will require a significant ongoing time and physical maintenance commitment.
- Future Expansion Limits: While the garden is large, any future structural extensions would require local authority planning permission and careful consideration of boundary lines and light obstruction.
- Insulation Standard Check: Despite the B energy rating, you should review the detailed BER report to confirm which specific energy upgrades were implemented to achieve this rating.
- Broadband Speed Verification: Although fibre broadband is noted as available, you should independently test or verify the actual achievable download and upload speeds with your preferred telecom provider.
- Water Quality Testing: Even with a filtration system installed, you should have the well or local mains water tested independently to ensure it meets all safety and mineral standards.
- Rural Road Conditions: Access roads surrounding Shanballymore can be narrow and winding, so you should consider how comfortable you are driving these local routes during icy winter conditions.
- Limited Evening Amenities: Shanballymore is a quiet rural village with very limited evening entertainment, dining, or nightlife options within immediate walking distance of the estate.
- Staged Price History Risk: The lack of price movement in the recorded history does not guarantee flexibility, so you should instruct your agent to test the vendor's genuine motivation to sell.
- Master Bedroom Flooring: The master bedroom features lino flooring while its walk-in wardrobe has timber, creating an inconsistent finish that you may want to upgrade for aesthetic harmony.
- En-Suite Ventilation Check: The upstairs en-suite bathroom relies on an electric shower and tiling, so you should inspect the mechanical ventilation to ensure dampness and mold are properly prevented.
Price positioning
?
- The asking price of 335000 euros appears overvalued when contrasted against historical prices on the same estate, though broader regional market inflation and the superior B energy rating provide contextual justification for a higher valuation.
- Valuation signals show a significant premium compared to older historical transactions within the development, reflecting substantial broader market appreciation, modernised features, and strong demand for flexible four to five bedroom family accommodation.
- Potential factors that could undermine this ambitious asking price include rural positioning and historical estate benchmarks, whereas strong transport connectivity, local amenities, and a private south-facing garden strongly support the valuation.
- The stable asking-price history without reductions indicates firm seller confidence, while modern inclusions like fibre broadband and whitegoods enhance overall buyer appeal in a competitive regional housing market context.
