ONCE shabby huts, these villas at Barleycove in Co Cork are what co-operative housing can be.

BIT of a bargain here – brand new four-bed in Allihies, west Cork for €295,000.

“THIS lady is all about location, tranquility and pure honest-to-God, good Beara landscape and views,” says estate agent Carmel O’Regan of SWS Property Services, as she brings a do-er up to the market with a tasty sub-€100k asking price.

Tommy Barker says extended Schull home has a lot to recommend it.

Rose Martin says the old hippy principles prevail at this farmhouse

AHEAD of its time. That’s the verdict on this west Cork house, home for decades to retired British ballerina Irene Ajello.

OWNING a rocky but beautiful chunk of west Cork is possible this month with the private treaty sale of a piece of hungry ground at Balteen near Goleen.

IN auctioneering parlance, this is a ‘faller’ — the sale has fallen through on Ahagouna Cottage and it’s now back on the market again, but with a very tempting guide of €150,000.

THIS is no country for old men — or women.

SMART, contemporary decor and some top of the range fittings, make 10, Riverview a good buy down Bantry way.

BUILT by a local and with a high-quality finish, Cnocáin Rua in Kealkil, Co Cork, is a niche scheme which is new to the market through Carmel O’Regan of SWS Property Services.

THE townland name is enough to raise a schoolboy titter, but the quality of the property for sale at Cahermuckee, Kealkil, West Cork should draw nothing but admiration.

A RASH of good quality life/equestrian properties are hitting the market this month, while large farm sales are still few and far between.
