Property Description

A Home with History, Heart and Endless Possibility, this is a charming 3 or 5 bed dwelling with flexible self-contained space offering character, comfort and choice - a home that can grow with you, and gives back too.

Tucked into a sheltered corner of the village, almost in the shadow of the historic Ballinacarriga Castle, this substantial detached home offers so much more than meets the eye. Extending to approximately 1,700 sq. ft, this is a property rich in charm, flexibility, and potential.

At its heart lies a traditional stone-built home full of warmth and character, enhanced by a more recent single-storey extension to the rear – cleverly hidden from the road and overlooking a wonderfully private outdoor space, complete with a gravelled yard and small lawn area.

What sets this property apart is its versatility. Approximately 600 sq. ft of the ground floor once operated as a local shop – a nod to the home’s central village location – and has since been thoughtfully transformed into a two-bedroom self-contained apartment. Whether you dream of a home that pays its way, a dedicated space for extended family, or a bright and modern home office with its own entrance and reception, this area can adapt to suit your needs.

Inside the original residence, you’ll find two inviting reception rooms and a kitchen dining area at the rear, perfect for family life or entertaining. Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms. Should you choose to reintegrate the self-contained space, the layout easily expands to offer up to five bedrooms and three reception rooms. This seamless flexibility makes it ideal for larger families, blended households, or anyone seeking space to live and work under one roof.

The location is as practical as it is picturesque. A mixed national school is just a short walk down the road, while Randal Óg GAA Club lies a short stroll in the other direction. The bustling towns of Dunmanway, Clonakilty and Bandon are all within easy reach, and Cork city and airport are just 50km away – making commuting or weekend getaways wonderfully convenient.

Whether you're looking for a spacious family home, a live-work lifestyle, or an investment with scope to grow, this property offers a rare opportunity in a truly unique setting.

Suitable for cash buyers only.

Services: Private well, septic tank, oil fired and electric central heating and high speed broadband is available.
