A beautifully renovated farmhouse with many original features, this three-bedroom property can be found in Foxhall, Rosscarbery, Co. Cork.

Extending to approximately 1465 sqft, the accommodation comprises an entrance hall, kitchen, utility, shower room, sitting room, dining room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Inside, there are many period features including a stove, original fireplaces, floors, ceiling beams and a range-style gas-fired cooker amongst other things.

A tiled porch area greets you upon entering. A glass door leads into the spacious reception/dining room. Standout features include a south-facing window, a warm timber floor and a ceiling with wooden beams and exposed stone detail. A feature brick fireplace with a solid fuel stove inset sits against the farthest wall.

A doorway at the other end of the room leads into the sitting room. A beautiful dual-aspect room, there are windows facing south and east. The same timber floor and exposed wooden ceiling beams also feature here along with an attractive exposed stone wall detail. A solid fuel stove with back boiler heats the water and radiators.

Slate flooring has been fitted in the kitchen along with wooden cabinets offering ample storage and counter space. A gas hob and electric double oven extract fan make cooking a breeze. The room has also been plumbed for a dishwasher and fridge. 

A utility room, rear hallway and guest bathroom complete the downstairs accommodation. Carpeted stairs – with under-stair storage – lead up to the first floor. The partition was removed years ago which could be replaced to accommodate a third bedroom or office/study.

All three bedrooms are spacious rooms. The bathroom has a bath, WC, wash hand basin shower and heated towel rail as well as a window facing east and an additional roof light.

Externally, a storage garage and open-out buildings complement the property. Conveniently located on a quiet country road, the property is just a 12-minute drive from both Clonakilty and Rosscarbery where you’ll find myriad amenities. 

Currently on the market for €285,000, the property is on sale through Martin Kelleher Property Ltd. Take a tour of this wonderful Cork home in our gallery below.
