Plenty of promise here for ‘Leap’ of faith
The property at Cashel, Leap, is perfectly placed between Clonakilty and Skibbereen, while being close to Union Hall, Glandore and a host of beaches.
The farmhouse is fully restored, and offers quality accommodation.
“It’s pristine and is just 15 minutes south of Clonakilty and the same again from Skibbereen. It comes with a hay barn and stables and five acres of old pasture,” says John Hodnett of Hodnett Forde.
“It’s the kind of place which is very suitable for different kinds of use. It has a polytunnel and it would be perfect for organic market gardening.”
The main house offers substantial living accommodation with great potential in the outbuildings — one could convert to a one-bed apartment, he suggests.
The main house is a long building with accommodation over two floors and the interior is well done — it’s a very comfortable house with three bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, and a run of living rooms in open plan fashion, but retaining the essential character of the old farm house.
This Cashel house is a move-in proposition with oil heating, two wood-burning stoves, and an attractive, well-equipped kitchen. There’s also a separate sitting room and the surrounding gardens are well maintained, with two little stables included.
One for the good-lifers or retirees with a lump sum.
The sale is by private treaty and the guide price is in the region of €285,000 through Hodnett Forde Auctioneers.
