Description
The Old Post House, Ballinspittle - Charming Historic Home Near Beaches & Kinsale (New Photos)
The Old Post House in the heart of Ballinspittle is now available to buy. Once the village post office, the Old Post House has been a fixture in the heart of the community for more than one hundred years. Today, this refurbished property, located just 15 minutes from Kinsale, offers a turnkey option for those seeking to live in a unique home near the blue-flag beaches of Garrettstown and Garrylucas.
Although it is an ideal location for the water sports enthusiast - with both strands being a genuine rather than 'a country' two miles away - it also would suit the adventurous golfer. The Old Head Golf Links is only three miles further down the road.
The master bedroom on the third floor boasts an en-suite (along with a full bath), and both the second and third floors are served by spiral wrought iron stairs, which create space and allow extra light into the building. The living room occupies the entire second floor. Its open-plan style permits the room to naturally divide into an office/study corner and an antique fireplace-centred lounge space.
The former offers a sky view through the double windows that lead out onto the flat roof. South-facing, it's a wonderful suntrap. The extension to the rear contains a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher included); a utility room; and a convenient wet room, which serves as a bathroom for the downstairs bedroom, which can accommodate a double bed if required.
The yard area is ideal for storing surfboards and bicycles, as it is easily accessible from the lane that runs along the back of the adjoining houses.
A part of Ballinspittle's rich history, the Old Post House is now ready to be part of yours.
