Settle down in a new valley home

THE Mealagh Valley, near Bantry in Co Cork, is one of those places that’s off the main tourist route and has just a smattering of farmsteads to break the sweep of its landscape.

Kealkil, a small village in the valley is close to Bantry town and has seen some overspill from there.

Extending to 1,500 square feet, but with just two ensuite bedrooms, rooms have the luxury of space. However, for those who’d like more, there is an attached, double garage which could easily convert, says the agent.
