An east Cork 1800s cottage has had a thoroughly modern and spacious makeover, writes Tommy Barker

Eve Kelliher reports on the sale of 1860s-built Ballymaloe Cottage, located adjacent to the world-famous Ballymaloe Country House.

IRELAND’S coastline is having quite the moment of international recognition, what with the likes of the extraordinarily successful Wild Atlantic Way and the coastal fringe of Ireland’s Ancient East, and now, the stunningly-filmed, informative and evocative four-part TV documentary on RTÉ One, Great Lighthouses of Ireland.

‘People move to Whitegate as a lifestyle choice,’ says the auctioneer of this home in the village, reports Trish Dromey.

Ballycotton's ‘Inn by The Harbour’ is a stunningly set bar, restaurant and seven guest rooms, with a 130-year history marked by the intervention of two men in clerical habits over a 110-year time span.

The house-proud owners of this three-bed semi at 4 Castle Avenue in Carrigtwohill have done up their 1970s-built home to showhouse standard.

SOME people buy standard homes, others build individual ones but some — like the owners of 21 Woodview Lawn in Saleen near Midleton — transform standard homes into highly individual ones.

This five-bed bungalow with bags of potential boasts some illustrious neighbours, writes Tommy Barker.

Built in 2005, this 1,000 sq ft home is owner-occupied, stylish, and in excellent condition, reports Trish Dromey.

Trish Dromey takes a look at one of the most affordable four-bed semis on the market in Midleton, a 10-min walk from the train station.

Anyone thinking of selling a home, not to mind buying one, in the coming few months would do well to give a look over presentation of No 12, The Orchard.

The interior is said to be tasty, but there’s something else too, right on the doorstep, to tingle the tastebuds at Rostellan House.

A cosy home in Midleton could appeal to first timers and investors alike.

An opportunity to live on the waterfront in a spacious and stylish four-bed townhouse is now on offer at 8 The Granary, Bailick Rd, Midleton.

Described as an attractive and bright detached family home by Adrianna Hegarty of Hegarty Properties, this country house at Bawnard doesn’t disappoint and has huge amounts of space to offer a growing family. 

Tommy Barker reports on a family home that is convenient to Cork and east Cork’s beaches and offers all the trappings of a peaceful country living.

The sea should be almost within earshot of this East Cork two-bed bungalow called Robin Hill, at Gortroe, near Redbarn and Youghal.

It’s 20 years this month since Ballycotton in East Cork was in utter upheaval, during the filming of the Hollywood movie Divine Rapture, starring Marlon Brando, John Hurt, Johnny Depp, Debra Winger and Angeline Ball. 

Cork harbour homes are attracting a lot of attention from UK buyers with a powerful pound, says Tommy Barker.

Tommy Barker views a charming cottage by Ballyshane beach, a haven by name and nature, and could be even more with its 1.25-acre site.
