Description

Hidden quietly among the many small woodlands of the original Castlefreke Demesne is the old gardener’s cottage. This unassuming two storey home conceals the walled gardens where once twelve gardeners lovingly tended the grounds for the Freke family who were the landowners here in the 18th & 19th centuries. The house is a little slice of heaven that simply bursts with original charm and character. It is in excellent decorative condition with plenty of multi-functional rooms to satisfy all types of homeowners. The original house was extended in the 1980s with a two-storey extension, accessed via a statement glass sun room, over a tack room and four separate stables. It is the landscape that really defines this home; the stone walls dating back to 1820 are in an excellent state of repair and surround the property creating gardens within gardens. The house and its everyday garden extend to 0.5 acres approximately and beautifully planted with magnificent flowering plants and trees that give all-year-round colour and interest including a Liquid Amber Maple tree. The avenue to the house is tree lined with Himalayan Birch trees, Tibetan Cherry and Japanese flowering Cherry trees and the grounds abound with Tulip, Lime, English Oak and Wedding Cake trees as well as Beech, Ash, Sweet Chestnut and Walnut trees. To the north is a walled in garden of 1.2 acres approximately which is home to raised beds, apple, pear and plum trees, geese, hens, guinea fowl and a rare open well. Further beyond is yet another garden, currently laid out in pasture, where bees are kept and horses and sheep used to roam. To the front and south of the property is a sheltered belt of trees extending to 2.7 acres approximately. Castlefreke is located 8 km south west of Clonakilty town. The combination of being within striking distance of the sandy beaches at Ownahincha and Long Strand as well as immersed in such rich secluded woodland makes this a truly inviting home in an idyllic setting.
