You could consider this property a private \u2018bistro\u2019 with its own sunny, south-facing garden… and an adjacent four-bed house.<\/p>\n

No 8 The Close is in the Lus an Ime development on the outskirts of Cloyne village.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 2005-built property is meticulously decorated. The credit goes to the owner\u2019s late wife, Rose, who had a flair for interior styling: \u201cShe was always brilliant for helping people, even matching clothes, and she would get calls asking for interior advice, too. She had great vision and put so much effort in to everything, from carpets and paint to picking furniture placement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Rose persuaded Alan to go for white wooden shutters to give a crisp, cohesive feel. And she came up with the idea for a centralised vacuum system, too: \u201cThere are two connection points upstairs and two downstairs, which reach all rooms and everything just goes to a tank in the utility room then.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two children have moved to their own homes, so the house, with a B energy rating, is on the market for \u20ac425k.<\/p>\n

A prime spot for relaxation is the patio and deck outside a beachy, relaxed-looking garden room to the rear. \u201cMyself and my son worked on this for my wife. Unfortunately, she didn\u2019t get to enjoy what we call \u2018Rosie\u2019s Cabin\u2019, but it\u2019s a beautiful place for unwinding with a book and a cup of something in the evenings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The wider location comes in for a salute, too, from agent Kyle Kennedy, of Kennedy Estate Agents: \u201cYou have a national school only \u2018across the road\u2019, 450 metres away from this gorgeously presented house and there are several food options, shops, and two bars in Cloyne, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are seven fabulous beaches only a short spin away, which is just great. You\u2019ve got everything on your doorstep in East Cork really. And I can drive to Midleton and get a train to Cork which is really handy,\u201d says Alan.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\n VERDICT: A walk-in and relaxed home near, beaches, Midleton, or a train to the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You could consider this property a private \u2018bistro\u2019 with its own sunny, south-facing garden… and an adjacent four-bed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":595300,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,25976,61,60],"class_list":["post-595299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-cork-property","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=595299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/595300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=595299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=595299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=595299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
