SITTING ON TWO acres of land in West Cork, Bay Tree House is a 4,100 sq ft property unlike any other.
The Georgian home maintains most of its original features – including sash windows, fireplaces and polished wood floors – while also having been updated to include modern touches, such as a conservatory and fitness room.
The aptly-named property is approached via a tree-lined driveway and electronic gates, while manicured lawns, gardens and an orchard make up its surroundings. A dual staircase leads to the first floor of the five-bedroom home, where the entrance hallway is located.
Here, the long entrance hall leads to the drawing room, dining room and library. Each of these rooms boasts stained timber flooring, a solid fuel fireplace and corniced ceilings. An office, two bedrooms and a bathroom are also on this floor.
Downstairs are three further bedrooms and a bathroom. The kitchen is also on this floor, complete with oak cabinets, granite worktops and room for a dining table to seat eight. Sliding doors lead to the south-facing Victorian-style conservatory, which lets in plenty of natural light.
New homeowners can squeeze in a workout or some relaxation at any given hour thanks to the fitness room, which boasts a professional-sized jacuzzi, sauna and fully-equipped gym. There’s also a shower room and toilet located off this room for ease of convenience.
Bay Tree House also boasts a large den that offers a multitude of uses; whether it be a cinema, games room, home office or studio.
The well-appointed property is within a 15-minute drive of both Clonakilty and Bandon, while the trip to Cork city and airport will take about 40 minutes.
