Feeling a bit weary of city life?

Looking for a romantic little slice of West Cork charm without the sky-high price tag?

At €195,000, the delightfully named Pink Door Cottage might be your one-bed dream escape. Tucked away in the West Cork town of Bantry, this cosy hideaway blends traditional character with sweet, storybook vibes—perfect for weekend retreats, remote working, or your next chapter in laid-back country living.

Recorded as part of Griffith’s Valuation in 1850, No. 2 Blackrock Road was originally a single-storey thatched cottage believed to date back to the eighteenth century. A second storey was added later—likely in the 1860s, enhancing the charm and architectural character of this unique terrace of mismatched houses.

“Set behind an elevated patio garden area, the property offers a sense of character and warmth.” says estate agent Olivia Hanafin of Sherry Fitzgerald O’Neill, who is handling the sale.

“Inside, the accommodation extends to over 48 sq. m. / 517 sq. ft. of cleverly designed living space arranged over two floors. The ground floor features an open-plan layout incorporating a bright and welcoming sitting room, dining area and modern kitchen, complete with modern units and quartz worktop.

“To the rear, a practical utility room leads out to a sun-drenched south-facing patio and terraced garden, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.”

Upstairs, the first floor is entirely devoted to a generous double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a large closet area. It’s cosy too; the property has double-glazed windows, a wood-burning stove, and modern electric heating system, ensuring year-round comfort.
