Description

Nestled in the heart of The Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark `Live the charm today create the design home of tomorrow. ` A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored heritage thatched cottage together with full planning permission for a striking architect-designed contemporary extension an exceptional blend of traditional Irish character and modern architectural vision. Whether seeking the charm and rarity of an authentic period cottage, or a ready-made path to creating a larger architect-designed home, Rose Cottage offers a unique opportunity to enjoy both. Set on approximately 2.05 acres (0.83 hectares), Rose Cottage enjoys a remarkable setting in the centre of The Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark, surrounded by the distinctive limestone landscape that makes this part of the west of Ireland unlike anywhere else in the world. Ideally located close to Doolin, Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands, numerous sandy beaches and the Wild Atlantic Way, the property offers outstanding lifestyle appeal. The cottage itself extends to approximately 134 sq.m. (1,442 sq.ft.) and has been comprehensively restored within the last decade to an exacting standard. The restoration carefully preserves the historic provenance and original character of the property while discreetly incorporating the comforts required for modern living. The result is a wonderfully relaxed home, full of warmth and charm, with light-filled interiors, generous proportions and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Existing Residence The original cottage retains many authentic features including: Traditional long thatched roof Whitewashed stone exterior D ouble-height ceilings Exposed timber beams Stable half-door entrance Solid wood panelled internal doors with original hardware Solid fuel stove Original stone-built shed/outbuilding Original stone boundary walls Mature private grounds bordered by hedging Broadband available (Starlink / Litenet) Positioned within mature private grounds, the property enjoys a strong sense of seclusion. The gardens are laid mainly in lawn with mature trees, while approximately 1.5 acres of adjoining green field offer outstanding potential for further landscaping, productive gardening, a small woodland, hobby farming or pony paddock. The Burren`s unique microclimate, with notably mild ground temperatures year-round, creates unusually fertile growing conditions and supports a diverse range of planting. Approved Future Vision A major added attraction is the full planning permission granted in March 2024 for an architect-designed contemporary extension, creating a dramatic and highly distinctive fusion of old and new. The approved design introduces a modern two-storey extension that complements the original cottage while transforming the property into a significant architectural residence. Large glazed openings, open-plan living areas and carefully considered garden integration offer purchasers the opportunity to create a truly exceptional lifestyle home. This approved scheme substantially broadens the property`s appeal allowing immediate occupation while offering a clear future enhancement opportunity without the uncertainty of seeking planning. Grounds & Setting Rose Cottage sits in one of Ireland`s most sought-after heritage landscapes, sheltered naturally by the surrounding Burren terrain and enjoying exceptional privacy. The combination of historic architecture, generous acreage and approved architectural expansion creates a rare offering in this region.
