Lots of us think our village or local area is best but whoever moves into this Rathbarry home can rest assured that its top-tier status has been officially recorded. This West Cork locale has won numerous Tidy Towns’ prizes and has received consistently high scores over the years.
Woodside itself is a five-bed 1977-built bungalow sitting on 1.5 acres of gardens with mature broadleaf trees. The house is ‘of its time’ but some of that decor — avocado- and pink-coloured bathroom suites for example — is back in fashion.
“It’s a prime spot in terms of size and location and there’s a lovely grove of trees here. Inside, it’s very dry and has been looked after very well by the family,” notes Keith O’Sullivan, of Hodnett Forde Property Services.
You’ve got Rathbarry Shop and Post Office just 110m away, while Tim Tom’s pub is quite close by too. The popular Fisher’s Cross Bar is less then 3km away. Long Strand and Owenahincha beaches are your real ‘locals’ here and the imposing and
beautifully restored Castlefreke Castle is a neighbour. Interest in Woodside is coming from people living in Clonakilty who want a bit more space, and people who want a permanent home in a beautiful location right by the Castlefreke Woodland Walks.
VERDICT: Beaches, woodland, and rural towns nearby — all the real essentials.
