West Cork/€600,000: Think buckets and spades, sand in the sandwiches, fuschia in the hedgerows and gorgeous sunsets. It's all in the package at Tralong House near Rosscarbery in west Cork, a three-bedroom farmhouse in a stunning seaside setting.

The house on two acres is about 200 yards from Tralong beach off a quiet country road midway between Rosscarbery and Glandore. It is for sale at €600,000 through SWS Property Services. Tralong House comes with several outbuildings including a stone-built barn that could be converted to further accommodation or studio space.

The main house, which is in need of some refurbishment, has two reception rooms, both bright, well proportioned rooms with original sash windows framing a view of the Atlantic. The kitchen is a large but fairly basic room with a door to the courtyard behind the house. A wide staircase leads to the upper floor where all three bedrooms look south to the sea. There are two double bedrooms, both with fireplaces, and a large single. All share a basic bathroom. In front of the house is a big partially walled garden that was once an orchard. There is an old spring well with steps leading down to it, a laurel walk, and a second walled garden on the west side of the house, with an open area beyond with lovely views over the beach below.

An ideal, if rather expensive holiday home, Tralong could work well for a couple of families getting together to buy. At 121 sq m (1,300 sq ft) the barn would make a good two-storey house, subject to the necessary planning permission.
