Property Description

IMPRESSIVE FIVE BEDROOM HOME ON c. 1.35 ACRES NEAR CORK CITY

Savills are delighted to present Shaleigh, 6 Tower Hill, Kilcoolishal, Glounthaune, Co. Cork, an exceptional detached bungalow set on approximately 1.36 acres of mature landscaped gardens in one of Cork's most sought-after residential addresses. Appropriately named Shaleigh, meaning 'a heavenly peaceful place', this wonderful home enjoys a rare sense of tranquillity, privacy and connection with its beautiful surroundings. Built in 1989 and presented in excellent condition throughout, this impressive family home has been meticulously maintained and upgraded, offering generous accommodation, excellent energy efficiency and outstanding privacy.

Tower Hill is an exclusive development of individually designed detached homes on substantial mature sites. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, Shaleigh enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining within easy reach of Glounthaune and Little Island Train Stations, excellent schools, local amenities, the Jack Lynch Tunnel and Cork City Centre.

Entrance gates open onto a sweeping tarmacadam driveway leading to the residence, with a second driveway continuing to the rear. The mature grounds are a standout feature, with expansive lawns, specimen trees, colourful shrubs, hydrangeas and established hedging creating a private setting. Enjoying a southerly aspect, the gardens and patio are bathed in sunshine throughout the day, providing the perfect space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. A cascading stone water feature and terraced gardens further enhance this exceptional outdoor environment. The property has been significantly upgraded in recent years with cavity wall insulation, photovoltaic solar panels, solar hot water panels, an upgraded hot water system, a high-efficiency condenser oil-fired heating system, an insulated composite front door and an EV charging point, contributing to its impressive B3 BER.

A welcoming entrance porch opens into a bright central hallway. The elegant lounge features a solid fuel stove with an attractive fireplace, while the spacious kitchen and dining room is fitted with quality maple shaker-style units and a range of integrated appliances. An oil-fired range provides a warm focal point and sliding doors open directly onto the rear patio.

The accommodation also includes a generous utility and pantry room, guest WC, walk-in linen cupboard, five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with ensuite, together with a beautifully appointed family bathroom. One bedroom is currently fitted as a home office, ideal for modern family living.
Further features include a garage, external lighting, outside taps, external power points and attic access via a Stira folding staircase.

Shaleigh presents a rare opportunity to acquire a quality family home on an exceptional site in a highly regarded residential location. Extending to approximately 1.36 acres, the grounds offer outstanding privacy while also presenting potential for future development, subject to the necessary planning permission. Combining mature gardens, spacious accommodation and an enviable location, this is a home of lasting quality just minutes from Cork City.
