NESTLED AWAY ON the West Cork coastline on more than one acre of land is Bóithrín Cottage.
Meaning ‘country lane’, the three-bed cottage matches the description of a property you’d read about in an idyllic romantic novel.
With a stone exterior, green lawn stretching to the water’s edge at Roaringwater Bay and floor-to-ceiling windows maximising the surrounding sea views, it would be hard for residents not to feel relaxed as soon as they step on to the property’s grounds.
The entrance porch leads to the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, with a wood-burning stove and Spanish tile flooring throughout. In the country-style kitchen, there is ample storage and preparation space, as well as a breakfast bar.
However, you might want to move into the adjoining conservatory if you’re sitting down for a meal or bite to eat, as it boasts the best views from inside the property of the surrounding lawns and seas.
To the right of the kitchen is a spacious double bedroom with high ceilings and sliding doors which lead to a paved patio. Before you reach the bed however, there’s a free-standing bath to the right of the room, with no door separating the two. Handy if you forget your towel, if nothing else.
On the first floor, there is a landing area with an open-plan study and a double bedroom to the rear. A bathroom and single bedroom complete the accommodation upstairs.
Also on the property’s 1.25 acres is a second stone building of 760 sq ft, which is currently a blank canvas awaiting transformation. To the rear of the property, a beautiful stretch of grass leads to the water’s edge and mooring.
The coastal village of Ballydehob is just a 10-minute drive from Bóithrín Cottage, while Skibbereen town can be reached by car in 20 minutes.
