HOUSE OF THE WEEK: Turnkey elegance and solar-powered luxury in Clonakilty

IF you’re in the market for a striking five-bed A-rated home offering turnkey luxury, then look no further.

Some houses simply look well, others feel right, No 14 The Pines in Clonakilty manages to do both from the moment you arrive.

Estate agents Henry O’Leary describe this solar efficient property as being ‘perfectly positioned within a mature development close to town, beaches and everyday amenities’.

Extending to 1,900sqft, this detached residence has been thoughtfully upgraded in recent years to create a true turn- key opportunity.

At the heart of the home lies a bright open-plan kitchen, dining and living space with patio doors onto the garden. A subtle split-level feature gently defines the living area, creating a cosy, slightly tucked-away feel while still remaining connected to the wider space.

The kitchen boasts quality timber flooring and triple glazing where required. Overhead, 18 solar panels work quietly in the background, ensuring the home is as efficient as it is comfortable.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms provide generous accommodation, while the fifth bedroom on the ground

floor offers excellent flexibility, ideal as a home office, playroom or occasional guest room.

The south-facing garden is fully enclosed with a generous patio and a substantial 30sqm Steeltec shed.

The property is guiding at €595,000 and viewing is highly recommended.
