Description:
“FORMER GLENGARRIFF METHODIST CHURCH OVERLOOKING HARBOUR AND SAND QUAY”.

An amazing piece of property awaits the next fortunate owners of this former place of worship. Although no longer a place of God, there is much to be in awe of in this blessed place, which has undergone an extraordinary transformation to create a comfortable home with a cosy traditional feel, as well as giving an air of grandiose gothic charm at the same time. Highlights include the large living room, the gallery and the elegant library/ dining room area. The original stained-glass windows are another priceless feature of this unique building. Currently running as a teahouse, it is ideally located on the N71 tourist route to make use of this commercial function but can just as easily serve as simply a private home. The waters of Bantry Bay are within 100 metres of this house, where boats ferry visitors to and from the subtropical paradise of Garinish Island. The views from within the house and from the front patio area are divine, taking in Glengarriff Harbour and its islands.
Viewing highly recommended.
