Casey and Kingston are delighted to present Springfield House to the market. Hidden away just off Maryborough Hill, Douglas. It comprises a wonderfully spacious split level 5/6 bedroomed bungalow on a very private, mature landscaped site of 1 acre. The gardens are a result of 40 years of dedication and indeed are award winning, hosting a vast range of specimen plants and trees.
Built in c. 1980, the home was refurbished in 2013 by its current owners. The gardens are a magical place and include 2 converging streams where there are peaceful seating areas and water features. There is also an orchard area with raised beds for vegetables, organic compost bins and a green house.
This home includes a modern open plan kitchen / dining room featuring an electric Aga. This is a lovely bright area with stunning elevated views over the garden. There is a self contained 2/3 roomed “granny flat” on the ground floor with independent access from the garden level. A sunny patio area off the sunroom is included, again with great garden/water views.
The property is located just off Maryborough Hill, approx. 4km from Douglas Village with its schools and other amenities and under 8 km from Cork City Centre. It will be a short drive from the proposed M28 Cork to Ringaskiddy Motorway. What’s more the 24 hour, 220 to Cork City Centre bus route passes directly outside the front door.
