West Cork Hideaway is an extremely unique residence which has been lovingly and painstakingly restored over the past 10 years. It has been transformed from a 250 year old Irish stone ruin into a spectacularly built home while maintaining the original character and charm.
The home boasts all the amenities and more expected of comfortable modern day living, whilst at the same time, maintaining the style, warmth and charm which makes the Irish home and its character so unique and internationally recognised.
The entrance into the house off the huge stone courtyard opens into the living area with the timber ceiling towering 23ft overhead. A large wood and turf, stone fireplace occupies all of one of the walls and is the central feature of the room. A staircase winds around the opposite end of the room leading onto an indoor walkway overlooking the entire room which connects either end of the house and the upstairs bedrooms in a truly unique fashion.
Leading off the Living area is the kitchen which is large, modern and provides the intrepid cook with everything they need!
Further into the house, off the Living room is a Dining area with a large table and chairs, ideally suited for those who enjoy formal dining experiences.
Leading off the Dining area through double doors is the bar, an especially cosy room, large enough to cater for a small crowd with lounge chairs, a bar, bar chairs and a stereo.
Leading from the bar is a doorway which opens onto a large wing of the residence. This houses a 10 metre indoor, heated swimming pool and sauna. Outside is a sundeck which can be enjoyed during the warmer months to bask in the sunshine after a swim.
Of the bedrooms, two are downstairs and three are upstairs. The design of the home is such that two individual familes could comfortably reside at the same time as two bedrooms are up one end of the home, whilst three are on the opposite side.
