€1m price partly based on period home’s half-acre site

A PERIOD home in Clonakilty, Co Cork, has character and aspect - and a half-acre site with development potential that underpins its €1m asking price with local agent Ray O’Neill, of the Sherry Fitzgerald franchise.

Mr O’Neill is selling the 3,200 sq ft home, Sunville, on the Western Road. It has period trimmings, four bedrooms and a sun room - with a profile to the Western Road and 100 feet of frontage - behind an attractive, cut-stone wall with cast-low railings.

In addition, there’s a second dwelling at the rear, which is described as a traditional ‘long house’. This has 650 sq ft of convertible space. At present, it is laid out as two garages, and could be used as a surgery, home office, clinic or apartment.
