A derelict Cottage to Restore, a Setting to Treasure. Two acres by the sea in the heart of West Cork, with planning potential and a coastal lifestyle to enjoy.

A rare opportunity to acquire a traditional derelict cottage on its own 2-acre site, situated in a sought-after coastal setting rich in history and natural beauty. Vacant for many years, the cottage requires complete restoration, yet its very presence may prove invaluable to a buyer seeking to establish a home in this desirable and sensitive area.

The property could qualify for government grants aimed at vacant and derelict buildings, offering financial support towards refurbishment. Beyond restoration, the cottage may also serve as a gateway to securing planning permission for a new dwelling in a more favourable position within the holding, making it an attractive proposition for those wishing to create something special.

The surrounding 2 acres provide ample space for gardens, small paddocks, or hobby farming, with the option of acquiring additional adjoining land if required. Set against a backdrop of sweeping West Cork countryside, the location combines peace and privacy with remarkable convenience.

The cottage is located close to Gurraneasig National School, just around the corner and down the road, while Howe Strand Beach is an easy walk away. The village of Kilbrittain is just 5km, with the towns of Kinsale and Bandon within easy reach. Cork city and airport lie approximately 35km away, keeping this rural haven well connected.

This is a unique chance to secure a foothold in one of West Cork’s most scenic coastal areas, with the potential to restore and reimagine a cottage full of history and possibility.
