Tasteful development aimed at owner/occupiers

AT €185,000 each, these detached homes at Boherboy, Cahirciveen, Co Kerry, compete quite favourably with holiday home prices in the Ivereagh peninsula, even though the target buyer is the owner/occupier.

Built by local man, Pat Bowler and on sale through the Property Shop, ‘Heatherfield’ is a tasteful development of just five, detached bungalows overlooking the Fertha estuary.

Each house has a traditional style and come with stone highlights and a half acre site.

Fittings are to a high standard, say the agents, and include tiled or timber floors, fitted wardrobes and kitchens, a fireplace and landscaped gardens.

A common green area forms part of the development and the houses are just a mile from the town of Cahirciveen.

Cahirciveen is linked to Valentia Island, which has fine beaches and interesting sub-tropical plants, by road bridge.
