Starter Home: Ardfert, Co Kerry, €60,000

With major renovations and a small extension, this cottage at Ardrahan, near Ardfert, Co Kerry, would make a nice summer home.

With major renovation and a larger extension, and on almost three quarters of an acre, could become a comfortable, full-time home.

So says selling agent Gerard Carmody.

“It’s just three miles from Ardfert and a 20 minute drive from Tralee, while Banna Strand and Ballyheighue beach are both within a four or five miles.”

Guiding at €60,000, it has living room, a kitchenette and two bedrooms and hasn’t been lived in for a number of years.

VERDICT: Potential for a buyer who wants to build or holiday in the area.
