DESCRIPTION
With its modern A-frame design, The Moorings has been created to catch the light, and make the most of its extraordinarily beautiful location. Opening up to views of the sea, inside and outside blend beautifully, with places to enjoy the amazing sunsets al fresco, or cosy up to the open fire and solid fuel stove on cooler days.
Built by the owners in the 1970s, the house has been very well maintained over the years. The proportions are manageable, yet generous, with five bedrooms and a flexible downstairs layout that means you can immediately enjoy the house, which is presented in turnkey condition. Or reconfigure on the spacious template to make it entirely your own.
Add the completely private location and well-matured grounds, private beach access and slipway, to complete the ingredients that make The Moorings unique. It is an ideal holiday home, investment property, retirement retreat with space for the extended family, or simply a wonderful place to raise your family in pure tranquillity that is adjacent to all the amenities of Bantry and this idyllic part of the Wild Atlantic Way.
THE MOORINGS
The Moorings welcomes you in with a generous entrance hall, before opening up to astonish with its incredible views of the sea. To the right of the hall is a downstairs bedroom, offering future proofing and flexibility, while to the left, a family room leads to a utility room, bathroom and home office to the front, and on to the kitchen /breakfast room at the sea-side of the house.
The generous kitchen / breakfast room has French window access to the sea terrace, while beside this, the living room and dining room are stunning spaces, linked by arched stone work, and including an open fire. The family room is a cosy spot with a stove.
Upstairs the four further bedrooms are all doubles, there is a family bathroom and the master is en-suite. Overall, the c. 230.6 sq.m (2,482 sq.ft) of space offers a wealth of opportunity to meet your needs. A side-entrance downstairs also means that the suite of rooms to the left could lend themselves to au-pair accommodation or a semi-private space for guests or longer-stay relatives.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Reached via a quiet cul de sac that also leads to Bantry’s spectacular 18 hole coastal Golf Club, The Moorings is in a gloriously secluded spot. Bounded by mature planting, the c1 ha (2.47 acre) grounds include patios and a generous terrace on the sea-sides, and plenty of parking to the garden side.
Lawns wrap around the house, and run down to the sea, where there is private access to the shore, and your own mooring and slip. Maintained and matured for more than 45 years by the current owners, the grounds are screened by mature trees, which are home to many species of birds, and also accommodate swings and places to play for the younger generations of your own family and friends.
A small stream runs through the property, adding its tones to the sounds of the sea, and a more recent addition is the secret garden with sheltered seating and a barbeque area. Throughout the property are the glorious and uninterrupted coastal views that make The Moorings so special and unique.
LOCATION
Famed for its beauty, and bounded by the Sheep’s Head and Beara Peninsulas, Bantry Bay is an idyllic place on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. Anchoring the necklace of smaller seaside spots that string the bay, Bantry itself is a thriving cosmopolitan town. At the head of one of the Bay’s sheltered inlets, it has a wide range of shops, bars, cafés and restaurants. A wonderful holiday destination, as well as a year-round town, there are good schools, a weekly farmer’s market and a friendly welcoming community.
The huge range of leisure activities on your doorstep include golf, walking, sailing, fishing, equestrian sports, rowing, GAA and football. In summer, the West Cork Literary Festival and the West Cork Chamber Music Festival bring devotees from around the world to the town, while visitors also enjoy Bantry House, the magnificent stately home and gardens that has been home to the White family since 1739.

About the Area
Bantry is a charming town, situated off the N71, just over 55 miles west of Cork City. As one of the larger towns in West Cork, it is a busy community with plenty of activity year round. It functions as a large Market town providing commercial, retail and tourism/leisure facilities for locals and visitors alike. The focus of the town is a large square, formed partly by infilling of the shallow inner harbour. After modernising this as an urban plaza, it now features a colourful weekly market and occasional public functions.
