– Built circa 1899
In the quiet townland of Glenawilling, along a boreen that winds its way towards Knockadoon, stands a vernacular home dating back to 1899. Modest in scale, yet rich in presence, this detached two-bedroom house carries the echoes of generations past. Set on 1.17 acres, it is a property that invites imagination: a rare chance to restore and reimagine a piece of East Cork’s rural heritage.
With its stone features, outbuildings, and traditional proportions, it offers the bones of something truly special. This property presents an exciting opportunity for those with vision: to craft a home that respects the past.
Life here is defined by rhythm and stillness. The property lies on a quiet country road, just off the Ballymacoda/Knockadoon route. Within 10 minutes you can reach the cliff walk at Knockadoon Head or the golden stretch of Ring Strand. Ballymacoda village, with its shop, pub and church, is close by, while Midleton and Youghal provide all the essentials of modern living.
This is a home for those who value space, calm, and connection to land and sea.
The House
Measuring c. 53.95 sqm (580 sqft), the accommodation includes an open plan kitchen/dining area and two bedrooms. There are also outdoor sheds with character stonework.
The property is without a bathroom and requires installation of sewage facilities as part of a refurbishment project. Windows are aluminium single-glazed, and while the house has mains water, it will require a complete programme of works.
Other Features
– Mains water
– Folio No: CK168622F
