Property Description

Set on approximately 1.19 acres of beautifully varied grounds, this distinctive A1 rated architect-designed home is located just three miles west of Schull - a scenic setting with exceptional countryside and distant sea views.
The house is thoughtfully designed as a one-and-a-half storey, combining character and functionality. Accommodation on the ground floor includes a spacious kitchen, dining/living area, sunroom, utility room, a guest WC, two bedrooms and family bathroom. A striking double-height entrance hall creates an immediate sense of light and space, while the west-facing sunroom captures the evening light and frames views across Dunmanus Bay.
Upstairs, the property offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, enhanced by skylights allowing plenty of natural light throughout. There is also a family shower room.
This home is rich in character, featuring a range of traditional and reclaimed elements including stained glass details, stripped pine doors, porcelain ironmongery, and unique recycled hand basins sourced from France.
The grounds are a particular highlight. The lower portion includes a former vegetable and fruit growing area, along with a small pond and a stream marking the western boundary.
The upper garden features a sheltered lawn bordered by mature planting, creating a private outdoor space, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Planning permission, granted in 2001, also included a separate garage with a studio overhead, intended to be positioned to the east of the house — offering future development potential (subject to relevant planning permissions).

Energy & Upgrades:
The property holds an A1 BER rating following a comprehensive energy upgrade completed in 2023, with heating system maintenance carried out in 2025. Upgrades include enhanced attic insulation, new triple-glazed windows and doors, and the installation of photovoltaic panels with inverter, battery storage, and a smart meter. Excess electricity can be exported to the grid, reducing ongoing energy costs.
Heating is provided by an air-to-water heat pump, complemented by nine new radiators and improved ventilation throughout. In addition, two solar panels contribute to hot water production.
A wood-burning stove in the dining room provides 4.5kW of heat and operates efficiently using seasoned hardwood. A second fireplace is located in the sunroom, with provision for the installation of an additional stove if desired.

Water & Services:
Served by a 160ft deep lined well with purification system. The water quality is excellent, and the well has proven reliable year-round.
Drainage includes a septic tank and a grey water system feeding into a reed bed. Rainwater collection is also in place for garden use.
