Guest extra bonus with traditional stone dwelling

NEWFOUNDLAND Bay Cottage isn’t as far away as you might think — it’s near Nohoval, in coastal Co Cork.

Owned and improved by its owners since the early 1990s (they are relocating to France), it’s an extended traditional stone dwelling with guest cottage. There’s nearly 3,000 sq ft or space on a three-quarter acre site near enough to Kinsale and Carrigaline and Cork city and airport.

The site is private but not too remote with views over rolling fields of corn to the sea and a small trout lake nearby.

It takes its name from Newfoundland Bay at Nohoval, a village with cliffs and coves and bars and restaurants in the vicinity.

Newfoundland Bay Cottage had been quietly on the market with a Kinsale agent for €900,000, but its sale has now been taken on by Jarlath Boyd of Savills in Cork city, who says it is very practically re-priced at €595,000.

For this, you also get a one-bed granny flat with the main house, a characterful three-bed, three en suite extended property with lots of exposed stone features and creature comforts. There’s also a decked balcony off the main bedroom for enjoying sea views and exterior stair access to a terrace and pond separating the main house from the guest cottage.

A country-style John Lewis hand-painted kitchen with Lava worktop has integrated appliances and a half door to the gardens, while another half door is a feature in the L-shaped 21’ by 15’ kitchen with solid fuel stove.

A study also has exterior access, and there’s a ground floor en suite bedroom plus guest loo, as well a utility room. There are two en suite bedrooms overhead and a spacious feature landing, with exposed stone wall.

The adjacent one-bed granny flat has about 800 sq ft of space.
