Hegarty Properties are delighted to offer for sale this substantial three-storey period residence located in the historic village of Cloyne. Set against the backdrop of the 12th century Round Tower, one of East Corks most striking medieval landmarks, this imposing property represents a rare opportunity to restore a home steeped in character and significance.

Beyond its walls lies a generous walled garden, offering privacy, development potential, and a rare green space in the heart of Cloyne village. With its historical setting, architectural integrity, and strong potential, this property is ideally suited to those wishing to create a truly special home or investment property.
Historical Significance
Cloyne is renowned for its Round Tower, dating back to the early 12th century, which stands immediately adjacent to the property. Built of limestone and rising to over 30 metres, the tower is one of only a handful of complete round towers in Ireland and is steeped in ecclesiastical history. The village itself traces its origins to the monastery founded by St. Colman in the 6th century, and its streetscape retains much of its Georgian and Victorian heritage.
Owning a property in such proximity to the Round Tower is a truly unique opportunity, blending daily life with Irelands living history.
