Description

Coomhola House is a beautifully restored and extended period farmhouse, nestled in a tranquil, sunny location walking distance from the bay. Set on approximately 0.7 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, the property offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the sea, creating a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently close to the vibrant towns of Glengarriff and Bantry, just 15 minutes away. Accessed via a peaceful lane, the gated and entirely enclosed property, Coomhola House, has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its original charm while offering modern comforts. The spacious living areas are designed to maximise natural light and create a warm, inviting ambiance throughout. Accommodation: Upon entering through a welcoming yellow door, you are greeted by a bright sunroom with generous storage closets that flows into the spacious open plan living, dining, and kitchen area. Large, double-glazed windows and French doors allow light to flood the space year-round, providing views of the gardens and the surrounding countryside. The dining room is separated by an open arch, featuring a beamed ceiling and deep-set windows that overlook the back garden and a peaceful waterfall. The adjoining kitchen is bespoke, equipped with a top-of-the-range stove, Belfast sink, and hardwood worktops. A further arch leads to a cozy snug, complete with a woodstove with a marble surround and beamed ceilings. This space looks out onto the sheltered garden. The ground floor also includes a laundry room and guest WC. Upstairs, a spacious landing offers room for a lounging area or desk. It leads to a well-sized bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a second room that can serve as a bedroom or study. This room opens to a balcony, perfect for glimpsing the sea or stargazing. A light-filled hallway leads to the primary bedroom, which boasts windows on three sides, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom. A generous walk-in dressing room and a bright family bathroom with a tub and separate shower are located off the upstairs hallway. Outside: The grounds extend over 0.7 acres and are beautifully landscaped with extensive stonework, a lawn, and a variety of trees and flowering plants that provide year-round interest. Walking paths lead to the top of the property, offering stunning bay views of the sea and hills. A small stream winds through the grounds, cascading gently through the ferns, adding to the peaceful ambiance. An independent stone building, currently serving as an artist's studio, could also be a great office or gym. It has a vaulted ceiling, Velux windows, and a wood-burning stove. Additional stone and timber-framed outbuildings offer great potential.
