Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this stunning character cottage in the village of Castletown. This attractive property was formerly the gate house for Castlehill House and is located in a peaceful woodland setting in approximately 0.0966 hectares. The property is of stone and slate construction and has many period features which include ashlar quoins and a canted bay window.  This home has undergone a restoration programme over recent years and would make an excellent holiday let cottage due to it's prominent location on the NC500 route.  Internally the property is a blank canvas and consists of three rooms which extend to approximately 41 m2. Planning consent has been granted (21/02459/FUL) to transform the house into a stunning holiday home.  There is scope to extend the cottage to the side and rear should one wish to do so. Located in the most tranquil setting which is close to the harbour and within a few minutes walk to the beach, this wonderful cottage is sure to appeal to a wide variety of discerning buyers.  Access to the cottage is through a gated entrance which leads onto a gravel road. The hard standing is accessed off the gravel road.
Properties like this are rarely available and it must be viewed to appreciate the character of the home and it's stunning countryside setting.
