Country
Address: Ahaguilla, Clonakilty, west Cork
Agent: Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill, west Cork
Standing on almost three acres about four miles from the town of Clonakilty, this extended farmhouse extends to a considerable 298sq m (3,200sq ft). As it was enlarged to become a retreat centre, it currently has 12 bedrooms but could easily be reduced to a more manageable number. As it has lain idle for a number of years, it should qualify for the vacant property refurbishment grant according to its selling agent. It has a Ber of D2 and retains considerable road frontage and level, fertile land – so has lots of possibilities.
Plus: Large house and site
Coastal luxury at Sandycove home with bespoke bar for €1.95m
Charming cut-stone cottage in converted butermill on three acres near Ashford for €550,000
Elegant period home with sizeable south-facing garden in Rathgar for €3.75m

Minus: Ber of D2 will need addressing

Situated in a well-maintained development with landscaped communal gardens – including a roof terrace – this three-bedroom apartment extends to 90sq m (969sq ft).

Plus: Three bedrooms, Ber of B3, a car space and a short stroll to the city centre
Minus: Some rooms appear dark due to navy paint – but it’s an easy cosmetic fix
