Carbery House is value for money

IT’S listed and comes on the market bearing a million euro price tag, which puts Carbery House in Dunmanway up there with the trophy purchases.

However, when you consider that the average, detached house comes in at around half of that, then this fine period property represents good value. Ray O’Neill, John Loughnan and Caroline Maslin of Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill are the selling agents for this property which is almost in the centre of the West Cork town, close to the local Garda Station. And, while the house faces directly onto the street, (a town house in the true sense), the part that’s on views gives a lie to the real size of this property.

There’s a whopping 7,000 square feet of space on offer here in this double-fronted, two storey over basement residence. Set on manicured grounds of an acre, the basement is almost at ground level at the back and to be fair, the photographs don’t do justice to the overall affect.
