Schull, Cork, Ireland

Sale Type: For Sale by Private Treaty
The property is currently used as a business/ home. The current owners are retiring. If you would like to work only 6 months of the year for a decent income this may be the property for you.
This is an exceptional example of an elegant and luxurious town house situated in the most sought-after village on the Southwest Coast of Ireland. Having been comprehensively refurbished with meticulous attention to detail by the current owners, this magnificent town house stands behind an unassuming façade in the very heart of Schull village, close to the harbour and is the perfect place for those who wish to be right in the centre of Schull and all it has to offer.
Finished to the highest standard throughout, the property is currently run as a restaurant with a family residence overhead. The options however are endless with this property; the restaurant is one of the most popular restaurants in West Cork - so much so, the current owners are open to leasing it and staying on for a period of time - but similarly, with a few alterations, it could be readily converted into a large private residence with its own extensive private garden.
What lies behind the front doors is nothing short of impeccable. Arranged over three floors the accommodation is immaculately presented and, stepping through the front door, you could be forgiven for thinking you had walked into an elegant, boutique hotel. The ground floor, currently hosting a restaurant, wine bar and emporium is quite simply wonderful. The two tiered south facing patio/garden, with its whitewashed bar, covered terrace and landscaped sheltered patio is an oasis of tranquillity and further reflects the singular character of this remarkable building. The first floor offers a bright and spacious living/dining/ kitchen accommodation. This generously proportioned room with soaring ceilings and sash windows incorporates a fully fitted kitchen. On this same floor you also find a sheltered sun terrace/balcony with breath-taking views of Schull harbour and Cape Clear Island. Beyond the living accommodation on the second floor, there are three double bedrooms, master with ensuite as well as a family bathroom. The property is the height of luxury and is the perfect place to entertain family and friends.
