Choice of two very different properties, and price brackets

RIGHT in the heart of Irish RM country, this house in Castletownshend is as old as the village itself, says Aidan Murphy.

The Town and Country selling agent gives a guide price of €325,000 for what he says is effectively two houses in one. Then, there’s site potential to the rear, which means the property has the potential to be three residences, and could be a valuable investment on that basis, according to Mr Murphy.

The gable of the house faces onto the main street but, to the rear, a series of old cottages have been assumed into the main block, which, by closing a door, could provide two own-door units, he adds.
