About the Property

An elegant Georgian residence of notable heritage, Riverview House dates to circa 1800 and is set within approximately 15 acres of mature grounds in Bandon, West Cork, Ireland.

Riverview House is a textbook example of Georgian architecture, featuring a traditional slate roof, tall chimneys, and elegant timber sash windows. The front door is framed by an exquisite neo-Classical doorcase, leading into a generous reception hall illuminated by a graceful fanlit arched sash window. The interior boasts well-proportioned living spaces, including a drawing room with garden views, a spacious dining room, and a flexible second reception room suitable for various uses. The kitchen, positioned at the heart of the home, presents an opportunity for modern reimagining, while a delightful south-facing conservatory captures the afternoon sun. The first floor accommodates five bedrooms, including a superbly proportioned principal suite with an en suite bathroom, alongside two further large double bedrooms, a charming box room, a guest bedroom, and a family bathroom. The return staircase, illuminated by the arched window, exemplifies Georgian craftsmanship.
