Leap, Co. Cork, P51N76T

The property itself is a traditional cottage of considerable charm, offering well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. Upon entering, a welcoming entrance porch leads into the main living space. The living room is a particularly appealing room, benefitting from a double aspect which allows natural light to fill the space. Centred around an open fireplace, the room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere typical of a traditional country home. The ground floor accommodation further comprises a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom, providing flexible living arrangements and the potential for convenient single-level living if desired. A staircase rises to the first floor where a landing leads to two bright and airy bedrooms. These rooms enjoy pleasant natural light and views over the surrounding countryside, enhancing the sense of tranquillity that characterises the property. Externally, the cottage sits proudly on a generous site extending to approximately 0.22 hectares (0.54 acres). The grounds are bordered by mature trees which provide both privacy and shelter, while the approach to the property retains traditional character through a walled entrance and sections of dry stone boundary wall. To the rear of the property are two small traditional-style sheds which offer useful storage or potential for hobby space. The structural integrity of the property appears sound, with the main roof and chimney understood to be in reasonable condition. The windows are a mix of double-glazed PVC and traditional timber frames. A small flat roof extension to the rear provides additional accommodation and also appears to be in reasonable order. Undoubtedly, the house would benefit from investment. It is long term vacant and the electricity is disconnected. The property may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. The setting is particularly attractive, positioned along a quiet country lane with picturesque countryside views and excellent opportunities for safe walking and enjoying the surrounding rural landscape. Altogether, this property offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a charming cottage in a scenic North Cork setting, combining traditional character with the convenience of nearby village amenities.

The nearby towns of Mallow and Charleville are almost equidistant and provide a wider selection of retail, educational and transport services.
