THE FURTHER you go from town the better the value: witness the 270,000 asking price for these big, detached houses just outside Clonakilty in West Cork.

WHILE it may be classed as a three-bedroomed home, the Beeches at Woodhaven, Drimoleague has enough room to meet all needs. This detached house is part of a low-density development in the West Cork village and is on the market for offers in excess of €265,000 through Henry O’Leary Property Partners.

TWO miles from bustling Clonakilty and newly-built, this three-bedroomed dormer also comes with distant ocean views and a spacious site.
