Savills are delighted to present Bracken House, Monees, Douglas, a substantial and exceptionally well maintained five bedroom detached family residence set within about 0.21 Ha / 0.52 Acres of beautifully landscaped private grounds, offering a wonderful balance of countryside tranquillity and city convenience. Positioned at the top of Maryborough Hill, just 4km from Douglas Village and approximately 8km from Cork city centre, this impressive home enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by mature gardens, while remaining within easy reach of excellent amenities, schools and transport links. The 220 Bus stop is right at the gate, which serves Douglas, Cork City, Ballincollig, Carrigaline, UCC, MTU, CUH and more.

Approached through a gated entrance and a long sweeping driveway, the property immediately conveys a sense of privacy and space. A generous parking area lies to the front, while the home itself is bright and welcoming with large windows overlooking the surrounding gardens. The mature grounds are beautifully planted with an array of trees, shrubs and colourful raised flower beds, creating a picturesque setting throughout the seasons.

Accommodation extends to spacious and versatile living areas, most of which boasts solid wood flooring, ideally suited to modern family living. A large light filled conservatory welcomes you into the main entrance hall, which provides access to the principal reception rooms. To the right is a superb living room enjoying delightful garden views, centred around a marble fireplace and complemented by a conservatory style seating area with French doors opening to a secluded South West facing patio.

The kitchen/dining room features a fully fitted solid oak kitchen with a selection of integrated appliances and excellent dining space. A separate lounge overlooking the front garden offers a unique sunken floor design together with an elegant French style fireplace, creating a wonderful room for entertaining or relaxing. Across the hall is a separate dining room, which could easily accommodate a variety of uses. There is also a ground floor double bedroom with pleasant garden views, a large family bathroom, home office, utility room and an additional spacious bright room offering excellent potential for independent living accommodation or use under the Rent a Room Scheme. A large garage with double door access completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, a spacious landing opens directly onto a large south-facing balcony with beautiful countryside views. There are four generous double bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms, together with a main family bathroom incorporating a sauna room.

To the rear, the property enjoys south and west facing granite patio areas together with a substantial lawned garden which formerly accommodated a tennis court, offering exceptional outdoor space for families and recreational use. The grounds are wonderfully private and quiet, alive with local wildlife including rabbits, birds and foxes, enhancing the home's unique countryside atmosphere.
