Adjacent to Lobster Cottage lies the natural spit known locally as "The League," believed historically to have been strategically formed as a defensive barrier protecting the upper harbour waters. Today, this picturesque spot is a beloved destination for kayakers, paddleboarders, and open-water swimmers, further enriched by contemporary amenities including a popular mobile sauna and inviting coffee dock, adding vibrant energy and appeal to the local community.
The cottage itself, measuring approximately 165 sqm (1,800 sq ft), is thoughtfully designed with an inviting and comfortable layout. The ground floor features an open plan sitting & dining area with a welcoming ambiance, enhanced by a large corner window offering wonderful coastal views. Adjoining this space is a fully equipped, charming country-style kitchen featuring high-quality painted timber cabinetry, extensive storage solutions, a practical breakfast counter, cosy timber-panelled slanted ceilings, and modern appliances designed to cater effortlessly for both everyday living and entertaining.
Additionally, the ground floor provides a generously sized ensuite bedroom ideal for accessible living, along with a beautifully appointed guest bathroom.
Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms. The larger room is elegantly presented with painted timber flooring, timber-panelled walls, built-in wardrobes, and a vanity unit, all complemented by stunning water views. The second upstairs bedroom, currently used as a study, also includes built-in wardrobes and a vanity unit, making it a versatile space. Completing the upper floor is a bright, inviting conservatory which opens directly onto the garden through charming external steps, providing an ideal spot to relax and entertain while overlooking the serene grounds.
The residence also benefits from approximately 50 square meters of attic space, ideal for additional storage needs.
Set within approximately 0.6 of an acre, the property is accessed via a gated entrance with ample onsite parking. The mature gardens surrounding Lobster Cottage create a tranquil, private oasis featuring an enchanting sunken terrace perfect for outdoor dining, surrounded by mature trees, colourful flowering shrubs, and carefully curated plants that offer year-round enjoyment and natural beauty.
Reen Pier, only a short stroll away, provides public quay access and mooring facilities, particularly attractive for boat owners and sailing enthusiasts. The charming fishing village of Union Hall, just 4km away, offers excellent local seafood restaurants, a welcoming community atmosphere, and convenient amenities. The picturesque neighbouring village of Glandore, located just a further 3km beyond Union Hall, provides additional dining, leisure, and social opportunities.
