Brylands is set on approximately 4.5 acres of woodland and landscaped grounds overlooking an inlet of Glengarriff Harbour, with views towards the renowned Garnish Island Arboretum.

The property's combination of private shoreline and a running mooring is likely to appeal to sailing and boating enthusiasts seeking direct access to the waters of Glengarriff Harbour.

Private Shoreline

A winding private driveway through mature trees leads to the residence, which opens onto gardens surrounding the house. A substantial stretch of shoreline borders the grounds, providing waterside walks and uninterrupted views across the harbour.

The house itself has been designed to make the most of its coastal location, with large picture windows and doors bringing the harbour views into the main living areas.

A balcony patio off the lounge overlooks the water and provides an outdoor space for entertaining or simply taking in the Glengarriff Harbour setting.

Three-Bedroom Residence

Accommodation includes an entrance porch and kitchen, plus a spacious combined lounge and dining area. Double doors lead from the living space to the patio, and the interior features an open fireplace and hardwood flooring.

The property has three bedrooms, including a large principal bedroom with en-suite, plus two guest bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a utility room. The property also has PVC double-glazed windows and oil-fired central heating.

Two Kilometres From Glengarriff

Despite its secluded waterfront position, Brylands is approximately 2km from Glengarriff village and its shops, restaurants and other amenities. Bantry is around a 15-minute drive away, while Cork City and Cork Airport are just over an hour away.

With its 4.5-acre setting, substantial shoreline and running mooring on Glengarriff Harbour, Brylands offers a relatively rare combination of a West Cork waterfront home and facilities for keeping a boat immediately at hand.
