About this property
Absolute Peace And Sea Views In Rolling East Cork Countryside.
Situated at the end of a quite lane, Ait Ma Chroi (place of my heart) is an architect-designed house built by my father 30+ years ago and has been a much-loved family home ever since. It offers absolute peace whilst being in easy reach of many East Cork attractions - Ballymaloe cookery school and hotel, Ballycotton, Cork city and Cobh.
The house has a large double height, sun-filled open living/dining area with wooden floors and rugs and views of the countryside from all sides. Doors open onto the south-facing, sea view patio at the front and a courtyard garden at the rear with table and chairs for outside dining. The house is heated with wifi enabled electric radiators. A large Clearview wood-burning stove makes it warm and cosy even in the winter. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to prepare and cook meals. There is a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, a fridge and fridge-freezer. To the front of the house, facing south to the sea, is an open garden giving onto the fields, while a sheltered courtyard at the rear catches the late afternoon sun. On a clear night you can see beautiful starry skies. From the garden are far reaching views all around giving a sense of space. The house is a family home, so there are plenty of books, guide books, puzzles and a few games.
There are two bedrooms one at either end of the L-shape, allowing for privacy. There is one large double ensuite with bath with views across the fields to the south and a door to the courtyard garden. The second room is a twin with adjacent shower room. The house provides comfortable accommodation for four, with a travel cot if required. The mile long quiet sandy beach at Ballybranagan is just a short drive away – perfect for rock-pooling, paddling and swimming. There is a surf school at Inch beach and a sauna box that regularly visits both Inch and Ballycroneen beaches. There are a number of golf courses in the area and sailing in Cork Harbour is within a short drive.

About the host
Hosted by Alison Vickers
We manage the property on behalf of my parents, who are retired, my father is the architect who designed and built the house. We live in Oxford, in the UK, I work as a coach and my husband works for a charity and we have two daughters. We love Ireland, for the house and its surroundings, the peace and quiet and the lovely people.
Why they chose this property
Absolute peace and quiet in rolling east Cork countryside but within easy reach of local attractions - the Ballymaloe Hotel and cookery school, Ballycotton Harbour, the Jameson whisky centre in Midleton and Cobh and Cork harbour.
Light and airy architect-designed house for four, set amongst rolling farmland with views of the sea. Brilliant for a family holiday with easy access to a mile-long sandy beach.
Situated at the end of a quite lane, Ait Ma Chroi offers absolute peace. The house has a large double height, light-filled open living area with wooden floors and views of the countryside and sea. A wood-burning stove making it warm and cosy even in the winter.
To the front of the house, facing south to the sea, is an open garden giving onto the fields, while a sheltered courtyard at the rear catches the late afternoon sun.

What makes this property unique
Two bedrooms – one double en-suite and one twin with adjacent shower room provide comfortable accommodation for four, with a travel cot if required
The mile long quiet sandy beach at Ballycroneen West is just a short drive away – perfect for rock-pooling, paddling and swimming. There are a number of golf courses in the area and sailing in Cork Harbour is within a short drive. The beautiful fishing village of Ballycotton is a 15 minute drive – and is well worth the visit to see the catch come in, walk along the coastal path and visit the nearby the nationally renowned Ballymalloe House Hotel and Restaurant. The village of Cloyne is a 10minute drive away for basic shopping and the lively market town of Middleton has a good range of restaurants, bars and a great Saturday farmers markert.
