PERCHED GRACEFULLY ON an elevated site near the Cork village of Kilbrittain, Ard Alainn is the epitome of luxury living by the coast. On the market for €1,200,000, this five-bed detached home spans 343 m² and is an opportunity to own a home with breathtaking sea views.
Meticulously finished to a high standard, the sea views are uninterrupted and sit alongside views of the countryside thanks to the elevated vantage point. The home stands on about 1.7 acres that ensure absolute privacy amidst beautifully landscaped gardens.
Step inside and it’s clear that space and light abound. The ground floor hosts a sprawling open plan kitchen with a dining room. This cream kitchen has granite worktops and a handy breakfast counter on the island for more casual meals. Adjoining this, the bright dining space has panoramic views and leads to the modern extension that’s home to a lounge. The floor-to-ceiling windows here bring the stunning sea views inside.
Two more generously-sized reception rooms with marble-surround fireplaces are also on this level. Of the five bedrooms, the largest is on this floor, too, with its en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. An office, a family bathroom and a utility room complete the spaces.
On the first floor, a large landing serves as an additional lounge area and it also has a large window that lets you soak in the views. Three bedrooms, two of which have their own bathrooms and one with a walk-in wardrobe, complete this level.
The house is no stranger to mod cons – it’s equipped with a built-in audio system that works throughout the house.
The grounds surrounding the house have been landscaped but there is also ample parking, a detached garage and an annex, which is sure to come in handy for guests.
Location-wise, the busy town of Kinsale is just a 15 minute drive away and Cork city is reachable in well under an hour. Ard Alainn is also close to west Cork with Clonakilty and Bandon both easy drives away.
What’s more is that it’s under 40 minutes from Cork Airport. And, no doubt, there will be plenty of friends vying to stay at Ard Alainn – as the name is Irish suggests, this is a beautiful and spacious home in one of the most picturesque areas of Ireland.
