The tree-lined driveway to this spacious, six-bed home at Ballyannan, outside Midleton, is an inviting arrival point. Those trees are a mature mix of lime and maple and were planted by the owners when they moved in 29 years ago. “My favourite room is the yellow living room with the yellow couch, as it had windows to the front and side and you can watch the birds feeding. The house was innovative for its time, with its timber-frame construction on the site of an old cottage. Midleton is just a short drive away, offering everything from schools, shops, and restaurants, to the popular farmers’ market.
