Unusual country-style pad with a nice little earner attached

AN Lon Dubh is six miles west of Ballincollig, at Dripsey, in Co Cork and is unusual in a number of ways, not just in name.

This relatively new house comes with some off-standard features and has a nice little earner attached - an apartment building with a one and two bedroomed unit.

Now, you could use these for an aged relative or your Kipper (kids in parents place eating into pension), or you could let them out - for money. According to selling agent Gail Kingston of Global Properties, the units provide a substantial income.
