Savills proudly presents Currahoo House, Currahoo, Kinsale, Co Cork, an idyllic waterfront period home dating back to the 18th century, with direct water access.
Upon arrival to Currahoo House you are greeted by a tree lined driveway which showcases spectacular views over the river Bandon. From here, you feel at home straight away. The driveway descends gradually to a generous parking area. As you approach the main house you begin to get a glimpse of the beautiful stonework that surrounds Currahoo House. This pastoral stonework defines the property and blends with the rolling countryside in a natural manner.
Arriving at the front door you will be captivated by unobstructed panoramic water views up and down river which leads into Kinsale harbour. Stepping over the threshold, it becomes immediately apparent that Currahoo House has been very much loved and well maintained by the current owners. The welcoming hallway benefits from high ceilings and exposed, repointed stone walls. From here, it is worth taking a moment to turn around, to take in the clear water and rolling countryside views, to observe the quietness and privacy that Currahoo House offers. It is quite special.
Two well-proportioned reception rooms await offering relaxing spaces. Both rooms have exceptional views and come with stunning fireplaces with integrated solid fuel stoves. As you make your way down the hallway, the beautiful stonework guides you to a guest bathroom and a country style kitchen with Aga range. A welcoming conservatory that looks out onto the water and countryside views interconnects with the kitchen/dining room seamlessly.
Making your way up the gradually ascending staircase reveals four bedrooms. You will find an attractive single room on the return, whilst three more large double bedrooms and a main bathroom are positioned on the first floor. The bird's eye view from this level highlights the privacy of the site as well as the spectacular water views.
On the gable end of the main house, you will find a set of stone steps leading to a charming two-bedroom detached cottage with a large open plan living/kitchen/dining room and shower room. This cottage also benefits from water views and is very private. Beyond the cottage you will find a tree-lined yard with 3 stone-built stables and outbuildings, all with new lintels installed in recent times. A separate gated entrance to the stable yard from the road also serves the large rear paddock, with site potential here subject to planning permission.
Currahoo House is in fine fettle and is an idyllic home in a magical setting and is within easy reach of sandy beaches, Kinsale town and Cork International airport.
Currahoo House or in Gaelic Corr an Chuaich which translates as the round hill of the water basin is steeped in local history. According to The Journal of the Kinsale & District Local History Society the Bullen family, who were descendants of Thomas Bullen, The Earl of Wiltshire and father of Anne Boleyn, came to Ireland in the late 17th century and settled in the Kinsale area. In the late 18th century, Currahoo House became their main residence. More recently, in 1972, an American writer bought Currahoo House reputedly from the proceeds of Hollywood movie rights to his book. He then sold Currahoo House in 1993 to an American family who vacationed in Kinsale every Summer until the current owners purchased the property in 2004.
Currahoo House is located on the edge of the world famous town of Kinsale, where one can avail of a choice of fine restaurants, bars, retail outlets, Kinsale Yacht Club, blue-flag beaches and the Old Head of Kinsale Golf Club. Currahoo House itself is located in a quiet cul de sac setting and offers a high level of privacy and tranquillity.
