• Notes

  Castle View House, once owned by the Beecher family, sits on 6.4acres with two tree-lined entrances: one to the house and one to the outbuildings. Constructed in the Georgian era, it features superior materials and expert craftsmanship. However, it now requires a new owner to restore it to its former glory. The main entrance of the house is situated on its side, featuring a typical Georgian doorway with pillars and a fanlight. The main rooms face south to maximize sunlight and offer views of Roaring Water Bay and Kilcoe Castle The expansive entrance hall is distinguished by an original spiral staircase that ascends to the first floor. But now needs restoration Off the entrance hall are two large reception rooms but, a bathroom and door leading to kitchen, pantry, and servants’ quarters. Several outbuildings, including three cut stone structures from the house’s original construction period. The land is excellent quality grazing. The property is about a 10-minute drive from Skibbereen, which offers supermarkets, shops, pubs, restaurants, schools, churches, and a sports centre. The popular coastal Village of Ballydehob is also bout a 10 minute drive. Cork City and Airport are about a 90-minute drive away. https://www.hodnettforde.com/properties/castle-view-aughadown-skibbereen-west-cork/
