Westerly Lodge,

Outstanding period property with detached cottage and studio on c. 6 acres, in a most private peaceful location, Westerly Lodge is an exceptional property in a wonderful setting situated on The Beara Peninsula.

Set on approx. 6 acres, the property consists of The Lodge, which is an extended period cottage, a detached guest cottage and a self-contained studio with a garage below. The property also features a number of pre-famine cottages which are used for storage and are in various states of repair.

The property is approached by a private tree-lined driveway which creates a wonderful sense of seclusion and privacy. The grounds are superbly landscaped, with a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs.

Enjoying a storied history, the property dates back to the early 19th century. One of its former owners was Bob Tisdall who won a gold medal in the 400-metre hurdles at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Indeed, it was Tisdall, a graduate in agriculture and forestry who planted the trees on the property when he lived there in the 1960`s.

The Lodge

The lodge is a beautifully appointed four-bedroom residence. Measuring just under 2,200 sq.ft., the dwelling is in excellent condition and exudes a lovely warmth and character. Completely gutted 10 years ago by the present owners, the works included re-roofing the house, installing new windows, re-wiring, re-plumbing and renovating the interior. The layout consists of three reception rooms including a conservatory, kitchen/dining area, utility and wc on the ground floor. There are four spacious double bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite bathroom, and a family bathroom on the first floor. A wonderful feature of the renovation works was the installation of Velux windows on the first floor which has ensured the bedrooms are flooded with natural light. Cleverly combining neutral colours, light-toned flooring and painted ceilings, the residence achieves a minimalist aesthetic that remains warmly inviting.

The Cottage

Situated to the south of the lodge in a discreet location, the renovated cottage measures just under 1,000 sq.ft. The accommodation consists of a kitchen/dining area, living room and an ensuite bedroom on the ground floor. There is a large family bathroom and a second bedroom on the first floor. In good condition throughout, the property is an ideal self-contained guest cottage.

The Studio

Located to the rear of the cottage, the studio is a first floor self-contained unit which is currently being used as an artist`s studio. Situated above a large garage, the studio measures c. 475 sq.ft. and is suitable to a wide range of uses. Boasting a kitchenette and a shower room, the studio could be used for guest accommodation or could alternatively be used as an office or even a gym. Enjoying a view of the harbour, the studio is a bright and welcoming space.
