DOWN from an original guide price of €400,000, Ballygiblin Lodge, near Cecilstown in north Cork is now on the market at €295,000 through Hamilton Osborne King.

This fully restored gate lodge is almost 200 years old and stands on a site of 1.5 acres with lots of trees, rich plantings, a pond and lawns.

And while it has three bedrooms, it comes with a comprehensive range of living rooms and has some nice period features.
