About this property
Description
A traditional detached cottage set on approximately 0.5 acres of level ground, ideally positioned in a beautiful and scenic countryside setting between Blarney and Grenagh. This home presents a fantastic opportunity for those seeking the charm of country living while remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities. Although requiring full renovation throughout, the cottage offers exceptional potential to create a home tailored entirely to your own vision, design and specifications. Having been vacant for an extended period, the property may be suitable to qualify for a wide range of grants (subject to the necessary applications and approvals), making it an attractive prospect for buyers looking to restore or redevelop. Whether you choose to renovate and extend the existing structure or pursue the development of a completely new home (subject to planning permission), the cottage offers generous site space and a peaceful rural backdrop for a bespoke residence in a highly sought after location. Blarney is just an 8-minute drive away and offers a wide array of amenities, including the renowned Blarney Castle, Blarney Woollen Mills, shops, cafes, pubs and a selection of well regarded schools, along with a strong local community. Cork City centre is conveniently located just 20 minutes from the property. This is a rare opportunity to secure a home with outstanding potential in a highly desirable location. Viewings are strictly by appointment only.
