This elegant two-storey over basement home sits proudly on a mature site of approximately three acres and combines timeless architectural beauty with an idyllic countryside setting, all while being within easy reach of Cork city and surrounding towns. The approach to Carewswood House immediately sets the tone for what lies ahead. A charming private entrance gate with an attractive lodge house marks the beginning of a sweeping one-kilometre avenue that meanders through manicured grounds before culminating at the residence itself. On arrival, a striking water fountain enhances the sense of grandeur, while the landscaped gardens, kept in impeccable order, provide a truly picturesque backdrop. Measuring circa 5,295 square feet, the property has been carefully maintained and is presented in fantastic condition throughout. The interior is rich in period character, showcasing features synonymous with Georgian design. High 12-foot ceilings lend a sense of scale and elegance to the principal reception rooms, complemented by intricate cornicing and beautifully detailed ceiling roses. Large windows ensure that the interiors are bathed in natural light, further enhancing the sense of space and refinement. The house's accommodation offers both grandeur and practicality, making it perfectly suited to modern family living while retaining its historical charm. The well-proportioned rooms provide versatile living and entertaining spaces, ideal for hosting guests or enjoying the tranquillity of its surroundings. The location of Carewswood House is equally enviable. Just across the road lies the renowned Castlemartyr Resort, with its luxury hotel, golf course, and leisure facilities, offering exceptional dining and relaxation options. The celebrated Ballymaloe House and restaurant, famed for its culinary excellence, is only a short drive away, making this property a dream for those who appreciate fine living and hospitality on their doorstep. Practicality is not overlooked, with Midleton less than 10 kilometres away, providing excellent shopping, schooling, and transport links, while Cork city is a mere 32 kilometres, ensuring convenient access to the airport and all the amenities of a thriving urban centre.
