This four-bedroom house for sale in County Cork sits above Cork Harbour, with sea views across to Cobh and East Ferry.
Built in 2008 and kept in turnkey condition, it offers 223 m² of living space on a 1,782 m² plot. The listing is registered under Castlemartyr, but the house itself stands at Ballynafarsid, close to Lower Aghada, on the harbour side of East Cork. That position is the point. You get open water, passing boats and the Cobh skyline from a house that needs no work before you move in.
### The House and Its 0.44-Acre Plot
The house is detached and sits on its own landscaped site of about 0.44 acres. A private driveway leads up to it. The elevated position is what opens up the outlook, and the large windows are set to frame the harbour rather than ignore it.
Outside, a large terrace runs off the kitchen and dining area, with lawned garden beyond. It is the obvious spot for a first coffee while the harbour wakes up, or for a long summer evening when the light stays late. The plot is generous enough for children to play or for you to plant out the borders, without being the kind of acreage that takes over your weekends.
### Inside: Living Space, Kitchen and Four Bedrooms
A bright entrance hall leads to two separate reception rooms, a sitting room and a living room. Both have high ceilings and large windows facing the water, and the living area has a modern fireplace for colder months on the south coast.
The kitchen is open plan to the dining area and built around a large island, with direct access to the terrace and garden. A utility room sits next to it. There is also a guest W.C. and a dedicated office, which suits remote working or study. Upstairs a game room gives the household somewhere to spread out.
