Ardea, Ballynacarriga, Co. Cork

Set on a generous site of approximately one acre, Lehanes & Associates are pleased to present this detached country residence offering a rare opportunity to acquire a property with immense potential in a peaceful rural setting. Vacant for many years and now requiring complete modernisation, the property presents an ideal project for buyers seeking to create a substantial family home, countryside retreat, or investment opportunity and should qualify for the vacant grants. While extensive refurbishment is required throughout, this residence provides a solid canvas for restoration. A particularly interesting feature of this property is a large leisure room which historically accommodated an indoor swimming pool and recreational area. This substantial space offers exciting possibilities for redevelopment and could be transformed into a contemporary open-plan living area, games room, gym, studio, or a new leisure facility, subject to the purchaser's requirements. Externally, the property enjoys mature gardens and grounds extending to approximately one acre, offering privacy, space, and scope for landscaping. Properties of this nature seldom come to the market, combining a sizeable site, traditional character, and significant development potential. The property is located about 0.5 miles from Ballinacarriga National School, 5 miles from Dunmanway town and about 9 miles from Clonakilty town. For purchasers willing to undertake a renovation project, this is an opportunity to restore a distinctive rural home and create something truly special!
