Large rooms and plenty of light in much-loved home

A FOUR-bed family home just outside Skibbereen offers a hard-to-find mix of comfort and sophistication. 

Extending to just over 2,400 sq ft, on a site of 0.87, the house at Derrylugga, Skibbereen is guiding at €300,000 with Henry O’Leary, Clonakilty managing the sale. 

He describes it as ‘a superb and beautifully presented modern family home, which has been constructed by the current owners in a setting that is nestled into the heather scented hills in this tranquil area of West Cork.’

Location will be a selling point with it tucked down a quiet country road while being within easy reach of Skibbereen town. 

It was designed to have day-round natural light in the most used area of the home. The kitchen, dining and living area share the same open plan floorspace which has natural light from dawn to dusk. 

The kitchen is an expanse of space, while in contrast the sitting room has a cosy vibe with an attractive feature – a natural stone fireplace. 

Throughout, the word ‘immaculate’ will surely spring to mind for viewers, as both inside and out the level of care and love bestowed on this property is immediately evident. 

Exposed beams and a large triangular window on the southern gable are striking features in the master suite. 

Back outside there is a timber deck and a paved patio area, along with lawn to the front and rear. Services include a private well, septic tank, oil fired central heating, solar panels and broadband.
