Overview

Description

Set on approximately 0.85 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, this exceptional five-bedroom residence seamlessly blends the timeless character of a century-old home with the comfort and style of contemporary family living. Extensively and thoughtfully renovated by the current owners, the property has been transformed into a bright, spacious and elegant home while carefully preserving its original charm and architectural character.

From the moment you enter, the generous proportions across 2,600 square feet and attention to detail are immediately apparent. A large welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone for the accommodation throughout, while the carefully restored original upstairs panelling reflects the home's heritage, beautifully refreshed to complement modern tastes and natural light.

The ground floor offers an excellent balance of formal and informal living space. A dual aspect living room with stove provides a warm retreat, while the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, ideal for modern family life and entertaining alike. This space flows effortlessly into a spectacular double-height living room, flooded with natural light and featuring striking ceiling height and a further stove fireplace, creating a truly stunning focal point.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with five generously sized bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom with an expansive ensuite bathroom and a walk in wardrobe. A beautifully designed and tastefully finished family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, combining luxury with practicality.

Outside, the landscaped front and rear gardens provide privacy, colour and space to enjoy the peaceful countryside surroundings. A wide driveway offers ample parking, while the substantial rear garden presents endless possibilities for further landscaping or planting, or alternatively can be enjoyed in its current natural state to encourage biodiversity and wildlife.

Perfectly positioned just 1.2km from the square in Macroom, the property enjoys the convenience of all local amenities while benefiting from a tranquil countryside setting. Macroom Golf Club is nearby, along with excellent schools including St Joseph's Primary School, St. Mary's Secondary School and De La Salle College. The property also offers excellent connectivity, with Ballincollig just 30 minutes away and Cork City centre reachable in approximately 40 minutes.
