Are you a millionaire with a vast collection of books?

If you’re on the lookout for a new home with ample space to house your collection and more, a bibliophile’s dream home just hit the market in Innishannon.

Nestled on a whopping 2.75 acres just outside the village, Shippool Lodge is a four-bedroomed stunner of a house with a treasure trove of treats to offer the lucky buyer with a cool €1,050,000 idling in the bank.

The house itself, set in its own fairytale woodland, is beautifully maintained, with top-notch finishes throughout.

We’re talkin’ pitch-pine floors, a cosy Jotul stove, and a kitchen that’ll make you want to whip up a feast every night (those panoramic windows overlooking the gardens won’t hurt either).

And let’s not forget the convenience factor. You’re just a stone’s throw from Innishannon, a short hop to Kinsale, and an easy drive from Cork Airport. Perfect for those who love a bit of peace and quiet but still want to be close to the buzz.

Shippool Lodge is not a house at all really, it’s a lifestyle.

We’re talking four bedrooms, a private study, and a double-height library. Yes, you read that right. A library so big it needs its own darn ladder.

There’s also a cinema room. Not just a glorified telly-in-the-corner situation, a whole dedicated space for indulging your movie addiction or kicking back with the ‘fam in front of a Disney classic on a Friday night.

Need to unwind after a particularly long day at work? How about a heated indoor swimming pool, a six-man jacuzzi, and a sauna? There’s even a gym area with a shower and plunge pool, because why not?

It’s surrounded by mature woodland and has direct access to the Bandon River river so you can commune with nature in all its glory.

Accessed from outer upper deck, a guest apartment offers a further open-plan kitchen and sleeping/living area and a large attic storage area as well as a shower room for your visitors.

Now, a word to the wise: viewings for this stunner are by application only. So, if you’re after a one-of-a-kind West Cork escape, get in touch with the folks at Bowe Property Kinsale.
