FOR SALE

The Farmhouse, Knockaskehane, Kilworth, Co Cork P61 X611

Step into history with this enchanting 2 bedroomed traditional stone-built cottage. We are proud to present this unique property to the open market sitting in a picturesque rural setting. This charming property offers comfort, tranquillity and character. It has a south westerly aspect on a slightly elevated site with panoramic views of the Blackwater Valley and surrounding countryside.

A rare opportunity to acquire a perfect retreat for those seeking a unique home with timeless appeal.

Built in the early 19th century, this beautifully situated traditional Irish lobby house is an evocative example of Irish rural vernacular architecture. Characterised by its central hearth and generous fireplace, the house follows the classic layout, with the kitchen fire at its heart and a former parlour to one side.

Constructed from local stone and carefully oriented with its gable facing west to shelter from prevailing winds, the house is nestled into the hillside and enclosed by original stone walls.

Rich in folk heritage, it bears traces of older rural customs, from a protective horseshoe once buried beneath the hearth to salt nooks and found bottles spanning generations. Formerly part of a larger farmstead, the house now sits on approximately one third of an acre with road frontage, this little home is cosy, loved, atmospheric and deeply rooted in place and history.
