Real treasure of this property is in its seaside site

WHAT you see isn’t what you get at The Lodge, a Templebreedy, Crosshaven, coastal dwelling for sale with a €350,000 asking price.

There’s little sign of that value in the existing two-bed, timber-built home: the value is in the small seaside site, and its views over Church Bay and the ocean, all within a daily commutable distance of Cork city.

There probably were happy summer and seaside days over the decades in this compact cottage, which has a kitchenette, sitting room, dining room, toilet and two bedrooms, but for the future there’ll be something better and more accommodating on this plot.
