Cottage embraced by organic attractions

WHILE this dotie little cottage is a trifle snug, its major draw, apart from good looks, is a four acre chunk of woodland in one of the most scenic parts of the country.

Riveroaks, at Reenmeen, Glengarriff has the full complement of organic attractions: a cascading waterfall, a stream, private viewing points and winding walks through woods of myrtle and oak.

Located just outside the village of Glengarriff, the property is on the market with Conor Power of Harrington Estates for offers in the region of €380,000.

The house is simple enough and in perfect condition, the agent adds, and it comes with a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, and would be ideal for retirees looking for a handy-sized property, plenty of privacy, yet still within walking distance of local amenities.

Alternatively, with such a large site, it could suit those prepared to extend the basic cottage, says Conor Power.
