What will €420,000 buy in Dublin and west Cork?

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

Contemporary finish allows period features to shine on elegant D4 road, for €1.7m
