Absolute Peace And Sea Views In Rolling East Cork Countryside.

Situated at the end of a quite lane, Ait Ma Chroi (place of my heart) is an architect-designed house built by my father 30+ years ago and has been a much-loved family home ever since. It offers absolute peace whilst being in easy reach of many East Cork attractions - Ballymaloe cookery school , Ballycotton, Cork city and Cobh, golfing and surfing.

The house has a large double height, sun-filled open living/dining area with wooden floors and rugs and views of the countryside from all sides. Doors open onto the south-facing, sea view patio at the front and a courtyard garden at the rear with table and chairs for outside dining.

The house is heated with wifi enabled electric radiators. A large Clearview wood-burning stove makes it warm and cosy even in the winter.

The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to prepare and cook meals. There is a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, a fridge and fridge-freezer.

To the front of the house, facing south to the sea, is an open garden giving onto the fields, while a sheltered courtyard at the rear catches the late afternoon sun. On a clear night you can see beautiful starry skies. From the garden are far reaching views all around giving a sense of space. The house is a family home, so there are plenty of books, guide books, puzzles and a few games.

There is no television but good WiFi so you can stream films/ programmes on your laptop.

There are two bedrooms one at either end of the L-shape, allowing for privacy. There is one large double ensuite with bath with views across the fields to the south and a door to the courtyard garden.

The second room is a twin with adjacent shower room. The house provides comfortable accommodation for four, with a travel cot if required.

The mile long quiet sandy beach at Ballybranagan is just a short drive away – perfect for rock-pooling, paddling and swimming. There is a surf school at Inch beach and a sauna box that regularly visits both Inch and Ballycroneen beaches. There are a number of golf courses in the area and sailing in Cork Harbour is within a short drive.
