Coast with the most: Tour this tranquil seaside home in beautiful west Cork
Enjoy your own outdoor jacuzzi and sea views for €750,000.
IF YOU’VE HAD dreams of living beside the sea in one of the most picturesque places in Ireland, take a look at Bawnlahan.
Sitting on one acre, this three-bed home overlooks Tragumna Bay near the west Cork town of Skibbereen.
The house was built in the ’90s and has a C1 BER, which is definitely a plus along the Wild Atlantic Way.
With a floor area of 238 m² divided over three different levels, the rooms are large and bright and give ample choice when it comes to where you can relax and entertain guests. The kitchen and dining area has a vaulted ceiling and stretches down to a lounge that grabs light from the side and out to the sea.
But this, although big, isn’t the only social space. There’s also a more formal dining and living room and a conservatory, while a utility room and home office are bound to split up work and play very successfully.
The abundance of space downstairs all makes a lot of sense seeing as there are just three bedrooms. The main bedroom sits upstairs and has an en suite bathroom. This is a split level house, and the remaining bedrooms are at the lower level – each one has is own bathroom too.
For keen gardeners, as well as those who have an affinity with the sea, this home might be a piece of paradise. The grounds surrounding the home are in great nick and well-thought-out. Sheltered areas can withstand any harsh weather and there’s even an outdoor jacuzzi that can seat up to eight people.
The busy town of Skibbereen is just 7 km from this unique home. Anyone who is familiar with west Cork will attest that there is plenty to do in each of the nearby towns and villages. Those looking for a chance to slow down and enjoy the quiet life, snapping up this seaside home wouldn’t be the worst idea.
