West Cork €750,000: A stone-built period townhouse in the west Cork village of Glandore once operated as the village post office and, before that it was the local police station. It will be sold at auction on August 9th through agent Keane Mahony Smith and has an AMV of €750,000.

Located between Hayes's and O'Donoghue's pubs, it has great views over the harbour and to Adam and Eve Island. Beside the village of Union Hall in chic west Cork, Glandore explodes during the summer months with holidaymakers.

The property has great commercial potential, according to selling agent Darragh Taaffe,because it is in the heart of the village and because of its history.

Spread over 172sq m (1,850sq ft) the accommodation includes a lounge with a tiled fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen with stone fireplace and four bedrooms.
