The Cottage, Castlewhite, Waterfall, Co. Cork, T12 CYR3, Ireland

Welcome to The Cottage, a beautiful detached bungalow occupying a private and mature south facing site of approximately 0.30 acres, commanding breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside and Cork City skyline.

Beautifully presented throughout, this charming home was thoughtfully extended in 2015, resulting in a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and living space that perfectly captures the spectacular setting through extensive glazing and large sliding doors.

Combining contemporary design with timeless character, The Cottage offers a perfect balance of stylish family living and peaceful country surroundings, all within easy reach of Cork City.

From the moment you step through the striking yellow front door, the home showcases personality and individuality. The entrance hall leads to a thoughtfully designed interior where every room has been carefully curated to maximise comfort, natural light and functionality.

At the heart of the home lies the open plan living space, where an abundance of glazing frames the magnificent views and seamlessly connects the interior with the outdoor patio and gardens. A bespoke terracotta coloured kitchen fitted in 2023, complemented by elegant Silestone worktops and stylish terrazzo style flooring, provides a stunning focal point for everyday family life and entertaining alike. The addition of a solid fuel stove creates a cosy atmosphere, while sliding doors open onto a raised patio, perfectly positioned to enjoy outdoor dining, entertaining and the spectacular surroundings.

A beautiful vintage style door leads to three bedrooms, all finished with laminate flooring and charming sash windows that enhance the character of the home. A wonderful sunroom featuring exposed brickwork and extensive glazing overlooks the private rear garden, providing a tranquil retreat to relax and unwind throughout the year. The recently renovated family bathroom is a bold and stylish statement, featuring a pink three piece suite beautifully contrasted by striking mustard coloured tiling. A practical utility area and a dedicated home office further enhance the versatility of this exceptional property.

Outside, the gardens offer ample parking to the front, surrounded by well maintained lawns, mature trees, shrubs and colourful planting. The elevated patio enjoys panoramic countryside views. To the side, there is additional seating area and charming herb garden, while the private rear garden is beautifully landscaped with lawns, mature hedging, established trees and planting, creating a peaceful sanctuary for both adults and children to enjoy.

The home enjoys a highly convenient location.
