Description:
LARGE PERIOD HOUSE ON CA. 5 ACRES WITH BUNGALOW & GUEST COTTAGE, BLAIRS COVE, DURRUS
A superb and rare property on the West Cork market today, which is set in idyllic surroundings close to the shoreline of Dunmanus Bay and to the pretty village of Durrus. The main residence is a property of outstanding character and charm, with a fascinating history dating all the way back to 1767. In addition to this large home, there is a bungalow and guest cottage on the grounds. The gardens are adorned with a truly exhilarating variety of mature trees and plants, many being of exotic origins. While its setting is attractive and calm with a good degree of seclusion, it is very convenient to Durrus village (just 1 mile away), where there are shops, schools, churches, pubs and restaurants. There are a number of excellent beaches within a short drive of the property, as well as the golf courses at Skibbereen, Bantry and Schull. Possibly most interestingly of all, it is within a very short walk of the famous “Blairs Cove” Restaurant, whose charming setting and superb cuisine make it one of the most sought-after restaurants in the area, if not the whole of Ireland.
Viewing is strongly recommended.
