Description of the home we are offering for exchange
<br><br>CORK has been voted the 3rd best city to visit by Lonely Planet!! CORK: European Capital of Culture 2005: the 'gourmet' capital of Ireland with many fine restaurants. The 'Old English Market' is an epicurian's delight selling Ireland's finest food. Cork is also a paradise for golfers, sailing enthusiasts and walkers with every amenity on its doorstep. ... Take a trip to Cobh which was the Titanic's last port of call (15 minutes away)... Culture vultures will be very happy with our Opera, theatres and art galleries. There is something for everyone... young and old. Easy access to London & European cities by air or sea; Cheap flights with RyanAir and other budget airlines: see www.cork-airport.com
We are very experienced exchangers and have been exchanging for over 30 years.(references are available).
We live in a prestigious suburb of Cork and have a detached, spacious home. New architect designed kitchen - dining - family room with cathedral ceiling. Our home has 4 double bedrooms - bedroom 5 is now a study, which can easily sleep 8 to 10 people. (a couch/sofa converts to a double bed in the tv/family room)
Our home is only 15 minutes from the ocean and is very convenient for touring west Cork, Kerry and the Lakes of Killarney. It has 2 1/2 bathrooms (master bedroom is ensuite with full bath), sitting-room, formal dining-room, family-room, a large fully equipped kitchen/breakfast-room, conservatory/sun room, utility room and separate laundry room. We have many pieces of antique furniture (we are not worried about visting chidren... after all, the furniture survived our own children!!). Our home also has full broadband (dsl high speed)internet access and wifi. For the musically inclined we have piano and full drums kit!! As well as the usual dvd and video players there is also an XBox for computer game enthusiasts! Large flat screen televisions in 3 rooms with cable tv. A south facing balcony upstairs overlooks the private front garden. There is also a large private back garden with patio area, gas BBQ, patio heater etc. <br><br>
We are also happy to include a 2018 Kia Sportage in a car exchange.
<br><br>Located in the suburbs of Cork city we live within 15/20 minutes of beautiful beaches on the south coast. We are also within easy reach of many championship golf courses in the area such as Fota & Old Head of Kinsale.<br><br>**** http://www.corkfestival.com/ for more information on events in Cork.<br><br>***
