Description

  • Sale Type: For Sale by Private Treaty
  • Overall Floor Area: 165 m²
This spacious, elegant six bedroomed farmhouse enjoys views of the surrounding countryside and has been stylishly improved and presented by the current owners who have created a home full of warmth, peace and the ease of family living. The house nestles beautifully in its plot in this lovely rural idyll and has spacious light-filled accommodation, a wonderful mature garden of 1 acre and plenty of parking. The property offers versatile accommodation with potential and has the added attraction of a self-contained contemporary 2-bedroom lodge which could generate a constant revenue throughout the year or could provide staff accommodation or a granny flat. The house was built approximately 90 years ago of cut stone and has been extended twice. The house features double glazing throughout, oil-fired central heating and one of the reception rooms has a wood burning stove and an open fireplace for cozy winter nights. The entrance hall leads to a warm and welcoming kitchen/dining room which is ideal for the family to enjoy a home cooked meal or to entertain guests. The large kitchen window frames the fabulous grounds and the famous Caha mountain range forms a spectacular backdrop to the gardens. The country chic style kitchen is fully fitted with cream cabinets and a Stanley range cooker beautifully ties this modern kitchen to the rustic setting of the home. The ground floor has two large reception rooms and a downstairs ensuite double bedroom with a shower. There is also a washroom on the ground floor and a spacious utility room. The first floor has five spacious double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The Lodge is self-contained and is presented in a contemporary style with spacious light filled rooms. The main living space is open plan comprising a kitchen/dining/sitting room with two bedrooms and one bathroom off. A particularly wonderful feature are the gardens which surround the property, which have been designed to embrace the surrounding countryside and wildlife. A large green house is tucked away at the back of the gardens and provides opportunity for self- sufficiency. A hen house and run also feature at the back of the garden. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature planting and well-established trees. Included is a grove of mature native trees, apple and pear trees and flowering plants. Kealkill is a small village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by farmland. It has a warm and welcoming community and has a local soccer and GAA club, road bowling club, and a community hall which offers an extensive range of activities and classes. The village has a popular pub, village hall and church, school , Garda station, swimming school, and a post office/shop. The seaside town of Bantry is only 10 minutes away and has many amenities such as schools, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, pubs, a cinema, music venue, library, sailing club and much more. Cork City and Airport are approximately 50 mins drive from the house. Kealkill and the surrounding area is steeped in history and is rich in archaeological sites, folklore and traditions. Kealkill Parklands is a five minute walk from the property and it will lead you to the historic and picturesque Carriganass Castle, a 16th century tower house overhanging the Ouvane river. A 15 minute walk from the house is Kealkill Stone Circle, an enchanting and ancient site with breathtaking panoramic views of the landscape with Bantry Bay to the west, Cnoc Baoi to the north and the Sheha Hills to the east.
