Olde worlde property comes with old stone houses

BALLINADEE is a quiet little village close to Kinsale and is probably best known for its life-sized grotto - the Marian shrine of Ballinspittle is just a few miles away.

This townland offers a quieter quality of life while still being within a short drive of Kinsale.

And a perfect, lifestyle property has just come on the market at Rathrout, Ballinadee, through auctioneer, Victoria Murphy.

A converted farmhouse, this property has huge potential, she says, because it comes with an acre of land and has plenty of old stone houses for conversion.

One in particular would convert to a cottage and would be ideal for summer rents, she says.

The main house has been made over by its antique-dealer owners, and while it’s olde worlde for the most part it has a big modern kitchen, says Ms Murphy.

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a main reception room come with the package on a third of an acre in a paddock. The remainder is made up of the yard and surrounding gardens.

The agent is inviting offers in the region of €295,000.
