Nestled on approximately 1.2 acres of mature, landscaped grounds, this is an opportunity that seldom arises, a peaceful sanctuary tucked away in the middle of town.

At the end of this charming approach lies a spacious, open parking area where Cuil Alluin stands proudly, occupying a commanding position that overlooks its exceptional site.

The house itself is a distinguished period residence, full of character and charm, though now in need of renovation. The ground floor comprises two generously proportioned reception rooms, positioned opposite one another, each retaining a sense of timeless elegance and original detail. To the rear of the home, the layout flows into a formal dining room and a kitchen/dining space, complemented by a utility room and a guest WC, together forming a functional and well-scaled living environment. Upstairs, a large, bright landing leads to four bedrooms, each offering ample space and natural light, along with a main bathroom to serve the floor.

The site surrounding Cuil Alluin is a true highlight, largely level with a rich variety of mature planting and trees that enhance the sense of calm and privacy. The sheer scale and nature of this land, right in the centre of Macroom, offers an unmatched blend of town living and countryside ambiance. It presents incredible potential for further development, subject to full planning permission, making it a compelling option for those with vision.
