Woodbrook Lodge, Kilmurry, Kilworth, Co. Cork, P61Y971

Collins O’Meara Auctioneers are delighted to introduce this exceptional property to the market in a beautiful scenic location within the Blackwater Valley. Nestled in a truly magnificent setting adjoining the Glenaprechan stream as it enters the River Blackwater, the property benefits from a blend of quality pasture, natural woodland and mature landscaped gardens, all set on 1.71 acres. Accessed via a stone gated entrance, the site offers both privacy and tranquility, all within 5 mins of Kilworth village. The residence was constructed in 2005 with a unique Scandinavian style finish incorporating the comforts and efficiencies of modern day living. Accommodation is both bright and spacious throughout, with an abundance of windows allowing natural light to flow through the home. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, well-appointed kitchen/living area with a beautiful vaulted ceiling, spacious sunroom with feature patio door to paved outdoor space, downstairs bedroom and W.C. Upstairs, first floor offers two further generously-sized rooms and bathroom, making it ideal for family living. Teak windows and doors, vaulted ceilings, teak fascia and soffit plus quarry slate roof are just some of the finishes setting this property apart. Surrounding gardens and curtilage have been tastefully maintained by the current owners, creating a mature and attractive outdoor space with potential for further development. Natural stone patio areas and walkways with deer park fencing are woven between landscaped garden areas, and raised beds, all perched on an elevated position overlooking a post and rail fenced paddocked field which lies below the residence. Endless potential is on offer, be it horticulture, hobby farming or equine interests. Originally designed to be a hunting / shooting lodge, the property has the added benefit of a block-built stable area with two large stables, tack room and parking area. Wildlife in the area is second to none with an abundance of red squirrels, otters, herons, buzzards and pine martins all making Woodbrook Lodge their home. Feeding time for the dozens of red squirrels from the kitchen window is a sight to behold, as well as observing the pine martins in their nest box in the trees. Efficiency is to the fore and the property benefits from a custom designed wood-block heating system operating underfloor heating. The system is based on a wood gasification boiler, helping to keep electricity costs to a minimum. This tranquil setting, combined with stunning countryside views and a truly unique residence makes this property a highly attractive opportunity for a wide range of purchasers.
