Unique house with antique features in picturesque Kinsale

A TYPICAL Kinsale, Co Cork house, number 1 Abbey Lane has a higgledy-piggledy look and a suitably antique interior with its half timbered walls and low ceilings.

It's more a medieval than vernacular look and explains why Kinsale has such an attraction for visitors, apart altogether from its wealth of restaurants and characterful pubs.

Priced at €290,000, this 1,200 square foot would be good value in Cork city in Kinsale, where high prices prevail, it shouldn't be on the books of Sheehy Brothers for very long.
