Down to earth home offers warm wood and river views

THE address sounds like the airport at Amsterdam, Schiphol, but Shipool in Cork is a far more down to earth sort of place.

A short bit down the River Bandon from Innishannon on the scenic route to Kinsale, Shipool is an almost unspoiled wooded area with amenity riverside walk, country feel and a location just 20 minutes drive from Cork city. The beaches of West Cork are within a similar distance.

Up for sale here, with full views over the River Bandon and on a two acre site, is a very large six bedroomed dormer family home, with 3,400 sq ft of space.
