Double the opportunity in Dingle

THIS traditional six-bedroomed cottage in Dunquin, Dingle, which is now on the market with Sherry FitzGerald O’Connell, was one of seven or eight built for the Blasket islanders by Kerry County Council in the early 1950s.

Selling agent Peter Fenton says the current owner lived in the cottage while renting out a newer three-bed extension next door.

“This entire property can be sold as one full unit, which would make it nine-bedroomed or the pair of semi-detached houses can be bought separately,” explains Mr Fenton.

The asking price for each house is €290,000 but in the region of €540,000 if bought as one unit.

With a landscaped garden bounded by a river behind the cottage, this property is within walking distance of Kruger’s Bar and An Portan restaurant.
