Ard Aoibhinn, Cove Hill, Baltimore, Co. Cork, P81VY00

Ard Aoibhinn is a substantial detached residence occupying an elevated position on approximately half an acre in one of Baltimore's most established and sought after residential settings. From its commanding position, the property enjoys uninterrupted views across The Cove, Baltimore Harbour, The Beacon, the islands scattered throughout Roaringwater Bay and Mount Gabriel in the distance. The Beacon, one of Baltimore's most recognised landmarks, has long guided vessels safely into the harbour and remains an enduring symbol of the village's rich maritime heritage. The house is in a peaceful setting and within easy walking distance of Baltimore village, harbour, sailing facilities, restaurants and waterfront amenities, offering a rare balance of privacy and convenience. Extending to approximately 241 sqm (2,595 sq ft), the accommodation is bright, spacious and thoughtfully arranged, with the principal rooms carefully orientated towards the harbour. Large picture windows draw natural light deep into the interior while creating a constant visual connection to the surrounding coastal landscape. The main living/dining room forms the heart of the house and is a particularly impressive reception space, combining generous proportions with an aspect over the harbour and gardens. Sliding doors open directly into the adjoining sunroom where extensive glazing makes full use of the exceptional setting, with direct access onto the terrace and garden beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room is both practical and welcoming, fitted with extensive solid timber cabinetry, integrated appliances and ample dining space for everyday family living. A solid fuel stove provides an additional focal point and adds warmth and character to the room. A separate sitting room offers a more intimate reception space while still enjoying the beautiful harbour outlook. Also at ground floor level is a versatile study or fifth bedroom together with ensuite shower room, utility room and family shower room accommodation. At first floor level, the principal bedroom together with bedrooms two and three enjoy elevated views across the harbour towards Sherkin Island, The Beacon and the surrounding coastline, with Mount Gabriel visible in the distance. Bedroom four also overlooks the rear garden and provides comfortable additional accommodation. These rooms are all bright and generously proportioned, enhanced by timber flooring and excellent natural light. Outside, the grounds are laid out mainly in lawn and bordered by mature shrubs, hedging and established planting which provide shelter and privacy. Stone pathways and terrace areas create ideal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining while taking full advantage of the setting and evening sunsets over the water. A detached garage and ample private parking complete the property. Baltimore has long been regarded as one of West Cork's most desirable waterfront villages, renowned for its sailing community, harbour atmosphere and access to the islands of Roaringwater Bay including Sherkin and Cape Clear. The village offers an excellent selection of cafés, pubs and restaurants while remaining at the centre of some of the region's finest coastal scenery and outdoor pursuits.
