This Cork farmhouse has been modernised to give a bright and spacious interior
Built in the early 1900s, its traditional exterior leads to an unexpectedly bright space thanks to a glass-filled extension.
Situated in the historic Leadington estate in Cork, this home looks like many traditional dwellings around the country, but entering it, you’re greeted with a different space than you might expect.
On the ground floor, there is a cosy living room and home office, both with underfloor heating. Also on this level there is a bedroom, utility and laundry spaces and two bathrooms, while to the back of the house is the bright, open-plan kitchen, living and dining space.
With a high vaulted ceiling, exposed timber beams, large windows and double doors that lead to the garden, it feels spacious, and is full of natural light. The modernity of this space sits alongside the home’s history and character, with the ground floor bathroom featuring exposed stone walls, as well as a cast iron bath.
Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms as well as another bathroom, while the landing looks out over the open-plan living and kitchen space below.
Set on around 0.6 acres, this home has a peaceful location, with the garden featuring raised beds, native trees, a vegetable garden and two greenhouses. There are also several outbuildings, including a grass-roofed studio and a large workshop. The home also features an air source heat pump and solar panels.
Close to several villages, it’s just a 15-minute drive from Midleton, with the many shops and restaurants it has to offer. Click through our gallery below to see more.
