Description
A striking five-bedroom coastal home on approximately 1.5 acres, complete with a large garage and a wonderfully flexible layout, all just a short stroll from the beach. Some homes are designed simply to provide rooms, this one has clearly been designed around its setting. Occupying approximately 1.5 acres on the spectacular Toe Head peninsula, just 200 metres from the sandy shores of Tranadough Beach, this is a coastal home where architecture, space and location come together beautifully. Set along the scenic Toe Head Loop Walk, just off the Wild Atlantic Way, the house enjoys a wonderfully open position amid rolling farmland, rocky coastline and the great blue sweep of the Atlantic. Yet for all that sense of escape, this is no remote outpost, Tragumna and Castletownshend are each approx. 7km away, Skibbereen is just 9km and Cork city and airport are around 80km. Extending to approximately 3,000 sq. ft., the house turns the conventional two-storey layout delightfully on its head. The principal living accommodation occupies the first floor, making the most of the light and outlook. Here, an impressive kitchen/dining room and wonderfully dramatic living room both feature vaulted ceilings, while the western gable of the living room is almost entirely glazed. Double doors lead onto the generous south-west facing wrap-around balcony, creating a superb place for coffee in the morning, a glass of something chilled in the evening, or simply watching the weather roll in from the Atlantic. The master bedroom is also positioned on this level, complete with walk-in wardrobe and private en-suite, allowing the main bedroom and living spaces to enjoy a degree of separation from the remaining accommodation below. And there is plenty more downstairs. Four further en-suite bedrooms make this an exceptionally accommodating home, but perhaps its cleverest feature is the self-contained guest wing, with its own kitchen/dining/living area. Visiting family can stay for a weekend or considerably longer without anyone beginning to count the days, equally, it offers enormous flexibility for ageing parents, grown-up children seeking some independence or simply guests who appreciate having a space of their own. Outside, the grounds are every bit as interesting as the house. Approximately 1.5 acres provide sweeping lawns, ample parking, mature boundaries and genuine breathing room. There is enough land for a pony or two, space for gardening, recreation or simply the pleasure of owning a little piece of this extraordinary coastline. With the beach practically at the end of the road, countryside all around and the Atlantic never far away, this is much more than a substantial family home. It is a house designed for a different pace of life, where summer evenings belong on the balcony, boots are left sandy by the door and the sea is never more than a short stroll away. *Copy this link for a fully interactive virtual tour: https://tours.hol.ie/toe-head/ Services: Mains water, septic tank, oil central heating and fibre broadband.
