Description

Bay View is a semi-detached traditional stone built and slated house with various extensions on 0.5 acre approximately and having spectacular coastal views, located within a short stroll of Ballinglanna Beach and Slipway, 7.5km south of Clonakilty town. The house requires a full renovation and refurbishment in order to restore the property to a modern comfortable home and should qualify for the Vacant Property Grant*. The potential is excellent for the property. The building can be taken back to its original core Cottage or extended taking advantage of the prior extensions to the building. The grounds comprising of 0.5 acre approximately are laid out in grass and are ideal for landscaping. The original cottage is believed to date to the 1890s and is one of 200 built by 1900 in the greater Clonakilty area under the Labourers' Acts. It follows the standard proportions being one-and-a-half storeys high, with two rooms downstairs and two in the loft. Making a livelihood from fishing in Ballinglanna in the late 19th century was precarious and unreliable. Many spent their days collecting seaweed to sell to farmers to help grow potatoes. The Labourers' Acts ensured a good house with the 0.5 acre plot allowing grazing for a cow and the growing of potatoes. Ballinglanna is coastal fishing village with an attractive harbour and vibrant community, located in an area that combines the sea with rich farmland. Clonakilty town is 7.5km distant. The local villages of Timoleague, Courtmacsherry, Butlerstown and Lislevane are all within a 15 minute drive. *While we expect that the property will qualify for the Vacant Property Grant, approval is at the discretion of Cork County Council, and any purchaser should ensure they are pre-approved before closing a sale.
