IDEAL FOR SOME peace and quiet while being surrounded by natural beauty, it’s not hard to see why some big names flock to west Cork. Saoirse Ronan, Jeremy Irons and Graham Norton are just some of the celebrities who have a special affinity with the area’s many charming towns and villages.
Nestled on the shores of Crookhaven on the Mizen peninsula, Gull Cottage has a picturesque facade. Dating to 1994, it has undergone a series of thoughtful upgrades, and has been transformed into a modern retreat that seamlessly blends with its scenic surroundings.
With a price tag of €795,000, this three-bed gem is the perfect opportunity to live a life beside the seaside and enjoy natural surroundings every single day.
Gull Cottage is perched at the entrance to Crookhaven village so it’s hard to miss. The exterior underwent a transformation and now features a combination of stonework and timber cladding. The result is a visually appealing facade that perfectly complements the seaside location.
Gull Cottage features well-appointed living spaces, including a spacious kitchen, a dining area/conservatory bathed in natural light and a living room with a solid fuel stove. A utility room adds practicality to the cottage.
Inside, the home exudes a fresh and modern atmosphere, with bright open spaces that enhance the coastal feel.
One of Gull Cottage’s standout features is its panoramic views over Crookhaven harbour. Large windows invite the breathtaking seascape inside, creating a sense of calm. The strategically placed decking areas and a raised patio allow anyone who stays to take in the surrounding natural beauty.
The three bedrooms are designed for comfort, with the main bedroom featuring an en suite bathroom with an electric shower.
The house has a walled and gated entrance drive, ensuring privacy and security. A raised patio area takes full advantage of the spectacular views, providing a great space for relaxation. Numerous seating areas within the property’s grounds offer a choice of spots to enjoy the coastal views, too.
While it may look secluded with its fantastic views of rolling fields and the sea to the southeast, Crookhaven is just a skip away for everyday essentials and socialising.
Convenience meets coastal living, with Gull Cottage being a mere five minute cycle from Galley Cove beach and a short drive from Barleycove’s blue flag beach.
Gull Cottage is a pristine retreat and an invitation to enjoy the tranquil and picturesque west Cork. If you’re toying with the idea of living a little slower, then this home in beautiful Crookhaven could tick a lot of boxes.
Gull Cottage, Crookhaven, Co Cork is on the market for €795,000 through James Lyons O’Keefe.
