Savills is delighted to introduce Carrighru House, a stunning 5 bed period property steeped in history.
Set on a beautiful site overlooking Cuskinny Bay and Nature reserve which provides a calming and peaceful setting.
The property has been exceptionally well maintained and improved over the years by its current owners. Works carried out include re-plumbing, re-wiring, installation of new floors and partial re-roofing. A new kitchen and 2 new bathrooms have also been installed. All rooms have sash windows. As a result Carrigrhu House is a manageable period home which is ready for occupation.
Upon arrival you are greeted by a long tree lined driveway which is also boarded by hydrangeas and rose bushes, this gravel topped driveway whisks you to a spacious parking area, from here you begin to get a sense of the space and quietness Carrigrhu House offers. Stepping inside you are met by a spacious and inviting reception space that benefits from original plasterwork and columns.
The ground floor accommodation includes an interconnecting lounge/ drawing room which benefits from two large bay windows and doors that provides direct access into the grounds, a bright kitchen/breakfast room, large guest bathroom and utility room. The ground floor also provides a self-contained one bedroom apartment that is attached to the main house and can be accessed internally & externally, an ideal space for guests or an au pair. Making your way up the gradual staircase you will find five double bedrooms, the master bedroom is en suite and a main bathroom. All accommodation is bright and enjoys garden and or water views of nearby Cuskinny Bay.
Stepping into the grounds reveals a number of secret gardens and includes a lovely perimeter walkway which will bring you through the lawn, a forest of mostly beech trees and back up the main driveway. The grounds are also home to a detached garage with mezzanine, courtyard area and a south facing seating area from which you can enjoy the wonderful grounds of Carrighru House.
Carrighru House is just 2 mins by car to the historic town of Cobh. It is within 15 minutes' drive of Cork city and within 25 minutes of Cork International Airport.
Don't miss out on this rare opportunity.
