About this property

Description

Delightful country home set on approximately 5 acres of mature grounds, with the Bawnaknockane river forming the lower boundary. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with specimen trees and shrubs blending into natural woodland. Rockwood House offers a rare opportunity to purchase a renovated and restored home that is full of space, light and modern fittings. A welcoming porch leads into a spacious entrance hallway, setting the tone for the warm and character-filled interior. The large, light-filled living room features a solid fuel stove, creating a cosy yet expansive space ideal for family living or entertaining. The kitchen is a bright and airy heart of the home, complete with an AGA and ample space for dining. Adjacent is a practical utility area and a modern ground floor shower room. Upstairs, the property comprises two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. A particularly attractive feature is the hand-crafted ash stairs leading to a light-filled landing, currently in use as a library, office and reading area, a serene spot perfect for remote working or quiet reflection. The exterior of the property is just as impressive, with stunning gardens and extensive woodlands. The grounds are bordered by the Bawnaknockane river, adding to the idyllic ambiance. The presence of two large polytunnels and several outbuildings offer excellent potential for horticulture, hobby farming, studio/office or a variety of other uses. This property presents a unique opportunity to embrace a lifestyle of peace, privacy, and connection with the natural world, all within an enchanting setting. The nearby village of Ballydehob is a traditional coastal village located on the Mizen Peninsula and Wild Atlantic Way. Ballydehob is noted for its restaurants, pubs, artistic and music community with numerous festivals and events throughout the year. Skibbereen town is less than a 20 minute drive and the maritime village of Schull is just a short drive. Cork City and Cork Airport are just one hour and thirty minutes’ commute approximately.
