Oldcourt, Skibbereen, Co. Cork, P81XW22

Well-appointed three bedroom residence in a superb secluded location enjoying magnificent views over the countryside, approximately 3 kilometres south of Skibbereen Town and very adjacent to the river Ilen estuary, Baltimore, Skibbereen Golf Club and Lough Hyne nature reserve. Built to the highest standards and double-glazed throughout, with many extra features including timber flooring, a detached double garage and under-roof storage. The property has recently been re-equipped with a Worcester Bosch oil-fired boiler providing zoned central heating and hot water. Both chimneys have been lined with steel ensuring maximum efficiency from the two wood burners. The property enjoys high-speed fibre optic broadband which comes directly to the house with no copper connections. The current owners have upgraded the property at every opportunity, installing a well which provides great water quality, completely rebuilding the septic system and renovating both shower rooms. A unique feature of the property is the greenhouse which was recently built. This was constructed to an extremely high specification in teak with a cavity wall using building blocks and old handmade bricks recovered from the demolition of a convent. The flooring is finished in Brazilian slate. Set back from the road and approached by a private drive, the grounds of circa 0.75 of an acre are well landscaped and laid out mainly in lawns with a wide variety of mature trees and hedging. The owners recently planted a large number of young trees as well as planting rhododendrons and daffodils. To the rear, there is a lawn and a paved sun-terrace with a pergola, which is a very attractive feature. Skibbereen is a vibrant market town with a good selection of shops, restaurants, schools and other social amenities. Cork International Airport is a 65-minute drive.
