Annefield House, Oysterhaven, Co Cork
SOLD


Annefield House is a beautiful Victorian farmhouse with its origins in the mid 1700’s. The west-facing property, ideally suited to either private retreat or holiday hideaway, enjoys a wonderfully secluded coastal setting on Oysterhaven, a tranquil and sheltered sea inlet only 30 minutes from Cork.

The stone under slate property boasts many original features including two fine Victorian gables draped in clematis, jasmine and roses, with bay windows under flanking the entrance to the house. Annefield has been comprehensively yet sympathetically restored to maintain the period integrity of the building. The accommodation which is presented in excellent order includes three reception rooms, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Together with the large well-fitted kitchen and utility room, the floor area extends to some 3,000 sq ft to include the formerly thatched barn attached to the house. The seaside gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property with over 6 acres of wonderful sheltered bluebell woods, lawns, old orchard and paddocks giving much privacy and lovely views.
