Refurbished farmhouse with spectacular views
Hill House, Harbour View, Kilbrittain, West Cork
Living the dream is what this house is all about. The pretty refurbished and extended three-bedroom home is just across the road from Harbour View Beach where you can safely swim and surf. Kilbrittain and Timoleague villages are nearby and Courtmacsherry is across the bay.
This was a permanent family home but it would also be ideal as a weekend and summer house, somewhere to relax and get away from it all in a home that is ready to walk into.
The house itself sits at the top of a gravel drive and looks south over Courtmacsherry Bay.
It has been renovated to a high standard, with a hand-made spiral staircase positioned at the far end of the dining room. Not just an interesting and intricate piece of craftwork, it also allows light to filter throughout the downstairs rooms.
This stone-built farmhouse retains its rustic feel with a half-door entrance, wooden floors and deep windows. The kitchen has pine units with a slate-tiled floor, while the living room has a feature fireplace.
Thanks to the new staircase, the landing looks down over the big dining room/hall. The three bedrooms, one a large double, all have sloping ceilings, and there is also a very stylishly fitted bathroom with shower and freestanding bath. The back garden is private and lawned.
The views are, of course, the biggest feature, tranquil and spectacular. Bandon is 14km away, Kinsale is 16km in the other direction. A YouTube feature and an interactive tour with floor plans is available on the agent’s site hol.ie.
