Pretty cottage, bay view, plus old ruin near Schull

PRETTY and pristine — what more could you want in a holiday home? Bayview Cottage, Toormore is well placed on the Schull/Bantry road junction and is an easy hop to Schull, Goleen and Durrus, the tourist centres of west Cork.

According to Micheál Duggan of Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill, the detached, three-bed is very well presented and has views over Toormore Bay with good amenities locally.

Low beamed ceilings and a country-style interior all add to the traditional look, but the house works to noughties standards and is a move-in proposition for buyers.

It has a large, sunny site and an extension at the rear means it offers 1,300 square feet of space in a great location. The finish is excellent and includes a porch entrance leading to a spacious living room of 27’ by 14’. This comes with a stone fireplace, with solid fuel stove and timber floors and the kitchen comes with granite worktops and a large, range cooker. It has a separate utility.

The back of the house has a long sun room extension and along with a main bathroom, the farmhouse comes with two doubles and one single bedroom.

An old ruin on the site could have development potential in the short term, depending on planning permission and this could be renovated as a studio, or as guest accommodation. Guiding in excess of €425,000.
