Living up the creek

WATERSIDE homes in West Cork are like gold dust recently.

A deal has been quietly struck on a Skibbereen house, the Glebe, for E3 million, while another period home on land, Reenadhuna, has made close to E1 million and now another hot property enters the sales fray.

The Glebe, considerably re-built by its vendor, who bought Creagh House and Gardens two years ago, was sold in a private deal for around E3 million to a multi-millionaire businessman with Schull roots, showing the thirst for houses by the sea.
