Large extension ideal for this retreat

Beet Cottage outside Timoleague already under offer at €220,000.

YOU really don’t get more traditional than this and its name, Beet Cottage, is probably some ironic reference to its previous use.

But that was before, and this is after, so despite the John Hinde picture postcard looks, there’s a hefty, modern extension to the rear.

With its half-door and small windows it would make an ideal West Cork retreat and it even comes with a separate studio/utility shed at the back. It’s just over the bridge from Timoleague village on the Courtmacsherry Road, which means you can walk to the pub/restaurant/shops and still be just five minutes drive from good beaches.

Priced at €220,000 through Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill it’s already under offer at that amount, says Mary O’Neill. With a smallish site that won’t need minding, two bedrooms, a bathroom, sitting room and kitchen dining room, it’s perfect for weekenders or a couple, she says.
