Selling Points: Stunning surrounds of Lough Hyne hard to beat

THE charming surrounds of Lough Hyne are some of the most beautiful in West Cork, and this lake-view four-bed cottage is now on the market.

The property is set on more than six acres at Dromadoon, on the famed nature reserve, with views over the lake, and is ready for work to begin to make it into a fairytale family home. 

It certainly requires some work yet to become that dream home, as some fixtures and fittings are not yet in place, but the views and the space is clearly there already. The location is a West Cork favourite with swimmers, tourists, and walkers.

Lough Hyne Cottage is part single, part two-storey dwelling with views over the famed amenity.

According to selling agents Sherry FitzGerald, the house is part single, part two-storey dwelling and can be upgraded into a comfortable family home. 

The house, which has a G energy rating, could be laid out to provide for entrance porch, kitchen / living room and two en-suite bedrooms on the ground floor, with two additional bedrooms and family bathroom on the first floor. 

Selling agent Hugh O’Neill also suggests the 6.7 acres are ideal for a small organic farm enterprise or other lifestyle uses. For information contact Sherry FitzGerald at 023-8833995.
