€825,000 Four‑Bedroom Family Home Near Carrigtwohill Hits Market

A four‑bedroom detached house in Ballintubber, near Carrigtwohill, is listed for €825,000.

Modern family home with extensive amenities

Built in 2008, the 445 sq m property, named Rathóg after a local 1,000‑year‑old ringfort, combines a stone‑and‑render façade with a split‑level interior and mezzanine landing. The owners, Claire and Conor, bought the house four years ago and are now moving towards the coast.

The home offers a range of family‑friendly features, including a playroom with an attic trapeze set, a garden with a waterfall, trampoline and swingset, and a balcony off the main bedroom overlooking fields. Inside, a vaulted‑ceiling snug with a wood‑burning stove and an Arcchio LED chandelier, a dual‑aspect living room, and an oak‑floored office that could serve as a gym or sunroom are highlighted.

The kitchen boasts solid‑oak cabinetry, granite worktops, a large island and a freestanding Stanley range, while the main bathroom includes a double Jacuzzi bath. Recent upgrades comprise new lighting, stairs carpet, two stoves, an oil tank, boiler, whole‑house water filtration and a high‑pressure water pump.

Located within a short drive of Gaelscoil Mhainistir Na Corann, other primary schools, Mary Geary’s Childcare, and the Stryker Carrigtwohill operations (6 km), the property is positioned for families and commuters alike. The garden is bordered by fields and a neighbour’s horse paddock, with electric front gates for safe play.

Hegarty Properties’ Niamh Hegarty notes the home’s exceptional quality and thoughtful design, rare in East Cork.
