Woodland hideaway

FANCY a woodland hideaway, in a dramatic site, with greenery all around, a stream at the border, and nine acres to call your own?

CB Hamilton Osborne King are selling a nine-acre woodland site with planning permission for one house, near Fermoy in Co Cork.

The glen site is bounded by the Craig Stream.

"This is an ideal site for somebody who wants privacy within easy reach of Fermoy and only 20 minutes' drive from Cork city," says estate agent Peter Cave, who seeks offers around €150,000 for a quick sale.

Access to Fermoy and beyond has been enhanced recently thanks to the new bypass and the town itself is well supplied with all the facilities you would expect from a centre of its size.

In addition to access by car there is also a regular bus service south to Cork city and north towards Dublin which is used by commuters as well as children for school journeys.
