Basic home, but overlooks Garnish Island

UP for auction at the end of the month is this tiny cottage at Shrone, Glengarriff. Co Cork.

Sitting on a valuable, third of an acre site, this two-bedroom property has picture postcard looks, but a very basic layout, says selling agent, Anthony O’Regan of Keane Mahony Smith.

He’s the joint agent in the sale, as is asking in excess of €200,000, with Denis Harrington of Harrington Estates, Bantry.

On the Castletownbere side of the tourist village, the house overlooks Garnish island, the Blue Pool and is still just a walk to the a range of pubs, restaurants and shops in this much-sought-after area.

Looking very Edwardian and harking back to Glengarriff’s golden age as a bathing spot, it’s to be hoped that this property won’t be knocked as it isn’t listed at present.
