This offering is something of a rarity, to acquire property in the heart of Summercove village, a popular spot for full time residents and those seeking a holiday home and presents a development opportunity to extend the existing footprint given the generous size of the garden. Hermitage Lane is a quiet cul de sac just before The Bulman Pub with some newer houses and older cottages dotted along, making for a very quiet position with lovely coastal walks to the outer harbour, the Scilly Walk along the waterfront into Kinsale town and a vibrant local community. The property is semi-detached with a floor area amounting to 82 sq m ( 886 sq ft) and oozes charm. The livingroom with French doors to the fabulous mature garden has a wood burning stove, steps from here lead up to a bright and airy kitchen which leads on to a garden room. A double bedroom with shower-room completes the ground floor layout. Up the spiral stairs from the livingroom there is a mezzanine space with full height ceiling which opens to a second bedroom also with shower-room en suite. The garden, which has side access is east and south facing and can also be accessed via French doors from the garden room and the livingroom making an ideal spot for al fresco dining. It has a fine sized patio area and lawn with mature planting and trees, including fruit trees. Due to it's location, the garden is not overlooked and offers great privacy and scope for increasing the floor area.
