EXTERNALLY 

 

A unique house for sale in lovely West Cork, Ireland

The house sits close to and a little below the quiet lane (which turns into a track a few hundred metres further on, and is part of a long distance walking route). There is a parking space (on reinforced grass, not tarmac or gravel) at the side of the house, and a layby with room for up to three cars across the lane.  The garden is mainly to the east and south of the house, with access to the house from the east, through a small pebbled courtyard. Along the east boundary is a well-established hedge of lace-cap hydrangea, together with mature ash and sycamore trees. Another ash, a sycamore and silver birches line the south edge of the site, together with small rhododendrons, other shrubs and a flowering hedge.

 

                               

The timber decked area of the garden at the rear, to the south, gives beautiful views of the OuvaneRiver valley and its surrounding hills, and of BantryBay and WhiddyIsland to the west:

  

 

 

From further along the quiet lane there are more fantastic views. This lane soon changes into a track, which crosses from this valley into the CoomholaValley, and provides a lovely walk, with or without your dog!
