Traditional detached farmhouse with a range of outbuildings, set on 1.26 acres approx., with a south facing aspect, located in a peaceful rural setting between Skibbereen and Ballydehob.

Extending to approximately 98 sq.m. (1,055 sq.ft.), the farmhouse has been vacant for approximately 10 years and now requires complete refurbishment throughout. Whilst in need of significant modernisation, it retains immense character and offers excellent potential to be reimagined into a charming family home.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, kitchen, spacious living room and separate sitting room on the ground floor, a traditional farmhouse layout with excellent scope for reconfiguration, if desired. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms together with a family bathroom.

A particular feature of the property is the extensive range of traditional outbuildings included within the holding. These comprise an original stone cottage, a traditional hay shed and an attractive stone outbuilding, all of which offer tremendous potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary planning permission. Whether utilised for storage, workshops, hobby space, agricultural purposes or potential conversion, these buildings significantly enhance the appeal and versatility of the property.

The generous site extends to approximately 1.26 acres, providing ample outdoor space for gardens, small-scale farming or landscaping while enjoying the privacy and tranquillity of its idyllic rural surroundings.

Situated just a short drive from both Skibbereen and Ballydehob, the property also enjoys convenient access to many of West Cork's most celebrated coastal destinations, including Schull, Baltimore, Lough Hyne, Barleycove Beach and the beautiful islands of Roaringwater Bay.

Skibbereen (pop.2000), on the Ilen river, a little inland from the indented West Cork coast, is known as the capital of West Cork. It's a lively and picturesque town filled with the brightly-painted houses typical of this region. It's also a centre of good food and the arts.

The West Cork Arts Centre showcases a diverse range of art and theatre and Skibbereen is renowned for the quality of its food with many artisan producers living nearby. During the Famine, Skibbereen was one of the worst affected towns in the country and today the Skibbereen Heritage Centre's Great Famine Exhibition uses contemporary sources and dramatisation to tell its story. Outside the town a marine lake, Lough Hyne, is a nature reserve with a unique ecology and many rare species. Many celebrities and foreigners have chosen to settle in this region, giving Skibbereen and environs a cosmopolitan feel.
