Price Reduction!! This is a one-off property! The residence is a Victorian Gothic Revival home (C.1851) festooned throughout with gargoyles and carvings. The residence measures approximately 520 sq. metres (including swimming pool area and sauna in basement) and comprises 4 reception rooms, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, laundry and drying room, office and large dressing room. The property sits on C. 5 acres comprising woodland, lawned areas fruit & nut trees, stone sheds a greenhouse and chicken coop are to the rear of the property. it also includes a pond, with an island , is bordered by a stream, an area levelled for a tennis court and a Coach House in need of renovation (that previously had planning permission) and a long tree-lined driveway.
The exterior of this unique, semi-detached, two-storey over basement residence features Cork Rose marble with Bath limestone. It’s set in a quiet secluded setting along a stream, and is 3.2 km north-west of Bandon town, a 25-minute drive to Cork International Airport and just a 20-minute drive from the coast.
History: It was built by W H Hill, an engineer friend of the Earl of Bandon, who was also responsible for building St. Peter's Church and shares elements of that architecture. This house is attached to another, that is separately owned - a beautiful Georgian home. Both houses have been renovated and upgraded.
The main house features a wide, Gothic mahogany staircase winding up from a huge entrance hall that still retains all its original statues and tiles. The ballroom held many lavish balls in its heyday and was extravagantly built with 2 Caen Stone fireplaces and carved busts of kings and queens, brought from a castle in Scotland. It lay derelict for about 50 years before its current owners bought it in 2005 and extensively renovated it and added a new wing. Many of the historical features, including the 24 sash windows, were lovingly and carefully restored to retain their authentic features while modernising them with double glazing.
