Waterfront Cottage For Sale in Co. Cork

Positioned in an exceptional waterfront setting on the approach to Bantry town, Sea Lodge Cottage is a distinctive detached residence enjoying stunning views across Bantry Bay. Located directly opposite the shoreline and slipway plus adjacent to Bantry Sailing Club, it offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home in a most scenic and convenient setting suitable as a full time residence or a coastal retreat.

Originally dating from the 18th Century, the cottage formed part of Bantry Estate, serving as a lodge associated with the Bantry House demesne lands. Although long since passed from estate ownership, this heritage connection lends a sense of character and history to what is now a comfortable and well-maintained private residence.

Extending to approximately 94 sqm, the accommodation is bright, well-proportioned and presented in excellent condition throughout. The ground floor centres around a bright open plan living and dining room which forms the heart of the home, complemented by a separate sitting room, kitchen and shower room.

The sitting room also offers flexibility of use and could readily serve as a ground floor bedroom if required, particularly as it is located adjacent to the shower room.

The ground floor is fully tiled throughout and the property benefits from shuttered hurricane style window coverings which provide both protection and privacy.

Upstairs, there are two spacious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. Both bedrooms feature timber flooring and built-in wardrobes.

Sea Lodge Cottage benefits from off street parking together with a small, enclosed garden laid out in lawn, an easily maintained outdoor space.

A further advantage is the pedestrian connection to the neighbouring Westlodge Hotel grounds, offering convenient access to its leisure facilities including swimming pool and gym.

Bantry town itself is just a short walk away and is one of West Cork`s most vibrant coastal towns, offering an excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants and schools together with a busy harbour and sailing community.

The town is also host to the well-known West Cork Chamber Music Festival and Literary Festival each year.

Altogether this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming waterfront residence in a particularly scenic yet highly convenient setting overlooking Bantry Bay.
