This is a home that has quietly unfolded over time. Originally built in the early 1900s and thoughtfully upgraded in recent years, this detached 3-bedroom cottage is set on a private, south-facing site of approximately 0.3 acres. Positioned in a peaceful countryside setting with glimpses of the nearby coastline which is within minutes of some of East Corks most well-regarded beaches.

From the moment you arrive, there is a sense that this is not a conventional home. The layout evolves as you move through it. The accommodation includes an entrance porch, open plan living/dining area, kitchen, sitting room (extension), 3 bedrooms and bathroom (c. 118 sqm / 1,270 sqft).

For those drawn to coastal living this home is positioned within close proximity to Ballinwilling, Ballinamona and Garryvoe beaches. Midleton town is a short drive away.

Outside
A home where the house is only half the story. The grounds are not laid out in a single sweep, they unfold. It is this sense of discovery that defines the property. The site is south-facing, private, with a series of outdoor areas that move naturally between sheltered and open. Patio spaces sit directly off the house, designed for everyday use, while lawns and planted sections extend outwards, creating depth and variation across the site.

What elevates this property beyond the expected is the range of outbuildings, not ancillary, but integral to how the home functions:

– a separate home office, offering genuine independence from the main house.
– a converted creamery building, now a highly versatile space incorporating a utility area, bathroom and informal living/hangout zone.
– an additional shed/workshop, providing further storage.

The gardens themselves are established and manageable, with patio areas designed to capture the sun throughout the day. Pedestrian access to the road further enhances the practicality of the layout.

Services
