Investment will bring big rewards

WITH ordinary enough houses in Kinsale routinely hitting the €1 million-plus mark and water views carrying a premium, astute buyers will appreciate Ballydawley's potential.

Five years ago, Ballydawley House, a few miles upriver of the Co Cork harbour town, was a snip at £250,000, though it needed work.

On the market last year for a period, and now back for sale with Dominic Daly, it has a €1.5 million guide and is still an unfinished project.
