Small cottage with olden style

TRADITIONAL or wha? Lupins, lazy beds and rambling roses - white wash and corrugated iron - it’s all too John Hinde. But isn’t it lovely? And it can be yours for E135,000 through Sherry FitzGerald Coghlan of Killarney.

This two-roomed cottage is at Meanus West Killorglin and is close to Beaufort village on the Killorglin/Killarney road. It has only 320 square feet of space, but that compares to a snug city apartment - so this cottage would be the perfect bolthole for those who don’t want to forget the waters and the wild.

And it comes with the usual acre of ground, which, while being a bit neglected, gives a whole new meaning to the term docklands. It even comes with an apple tree and has a wooded boundary. And in case you don’t know which county this cottage is in - check out the door and window colours.
