The outside of well-set Ardmoyle, in the heart of Crosshaven village by the start of the Camden Road, is unpainted grey render.

‘Tideways’ on the Owenabue estuary has had upgrades since its ’60s build and makes for an impressive home, writes Tommy Barker.

This modern three-bed semi-d in Cork harbour is sure to attract plenty of interest, especially from first-time buyers, writes Trish Dromey.

Time has caught up with this brick bungalow at Kilnagleary, above Carrigaline and the Owenabue estuary in Cork. 

There are quality woods inside, and outside, at Blackberry Cottage, in the woodland scheme of one-off homes called Brookwood. 

Want to go roaming around Crosshaven for a rewarding house project? This detached house called Dromainn could fit the bill, if you are prepared to do basic enough upgrades.

House for sale, or house for sail?

ONE careful lady owner — the term, often applied to a second-hand car sale as a sort of badge of tender, loving care, can equally, and probably even more appropriately, be applied to the Cork home called Spanish Point.

Some of the finest views over the Owenabue Estuary and a location cheek by jowl with Carrigaline town makes this 41-acre farm a sure fire winner on a number of levels.

LONG before the excesses of the boom, this waterside house on south Cork’s Currabinny Road replaced a simpler, single storey property at Castlerock.

THERE are extensions and conversions that follow the line of a given house, blending the architecture of the old to the new in a seamless join.

THERE aren’t too many houses you’d come across in which you might be inclined to forget about one or two of the rooms, but Tideways is one of them.

TAKE a secluded, woodland site on the south Cork coast, add 10 big houses and, hey presto, you’ve got Brookwood, on the Crosshaven Road.

HMMM, it's a toss up. House? Site? Or both? Up for sale right next to one another at the water's edge by the Owenabue estuary in Carrigaline in Co Cork is a bungalow on a one-third acre site.

THE Big House, where they once filmed Molly Keane’s big-house novel, Good Behaviour, is Coolmore, in Currabinny, Co Cork.

WITH the waves lapping up at the back garden boundaries on high tide, and an indoor swimming pool alongside, Tideways has literally been floated on the market pitched at the executive family home sector.
