The Manse, Parnell Street, Bandon, Co. Cork

Mark Kelly Property has the pleasure of introducing to the local property market, The Manse, a charming and substantial six-bedroom detached period residence which was originally constructed in circa 1850.

This stunning residence is set on a large and mature private site extending to approximately 1.4 acres within walking distance of Bandon town centre. The house is an integral part of Bandons heritage, and was previously home to the Presbyterian Minister Browne, before the current owners purchased it as their family home in 1981.

The accommodation extends to approximately 250 sq.m with a ground floor comprising of an entrance porch leading to a welcoming entrance hall, library, family room, drawing room, T.V room, guest WC, kitchen, and utility room.
The first floor accommodates six bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The property enjoys a private setting with a sweeping driveway leading to the main residence, surrounded by mature boundaries.
An extremely notable feature of the property is the self-contained 2 bedroom guest apartment , which is located adjacent to the house, off the inner courtyard. This building was a former stables for the familys ponies and has been completely redesigned. This additional accommodation extends to approximately 45 sqm and comprises an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, bathroom, and bedroom on ground floor level with a further bedroom overhead.

While The Manse is presented in reasonable condition, it would benefit from modernisation and refurbishment, offering an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to restore and enhance this fine period home to its former glory.

Ideally located on the eastern side of Bandon town, the property is within a 10-minute walk of South Main Street and all local amenities. Bandon is a thriving West Cork town located approximately 20 minutes from Cork City via the N71, with Cork Airport and major transport links within a 30-minute drive.
The Manse represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic and distinctive home on an exceptional private site close to the heart of Bandon.
