Situated within a couple of miles of the bustling West Cork town of Clonakilty. One could not be in a more serene or peaceful place, perched above the road and accessed via electronic gates, the site affords the most wonderful views over environmentally protected marsh lands to Inchydoney Beach & Coastline. Built in 1996, and completely renovated & extended in 2008, the specification of this property is of the highest calibre, creating a wonderful space with style and distinction. From the well-appointed bespoke kitchen with granite work surfaces & central island, through to the garden room with double height windows maximising the amount of light, every change has been well considered to maximise the potential of this property. Measuring approximately 3,800 sq ft and consisting of 4/5 bedrooms, 4 reception rooms and 5 bathrooms. One is immediately struck by the generous room proportions and the great sense of light in each and every room. A family can really spread out and enjoy their own space. The garden room is particularly impressive with its double height ceiling with mezzanine landing. A recent addition to this room is a Tulikivi™ fireplace & bake oven where one can experience the comfort of the radiant heat of a wood stove made from original Finnish soapstone. When the temperature is at its peak, the oven is ideal for foods such as pizzas or as slow cooker. The grounds are exceptionally well landscaped with different paths, terracing and seating to enjoy the magnificent aspect. There are a wide array of flowering plants, mature shrubs, trees and a pond. A high-quality Pilates room has been constructed adjacent to the property which could be repurposed as an artist's studio or home office.
