It's action stations for coastal buy

Tommy Barker says Ardmore's Coastguard Station is unique purchase.

ALMOST out on its own, Ardmore's Coastguard Station has a chequered past and holds out prospects of a sun-filled future.

Dating back to 1870, the coastal property by the headland and cliff-top walk was budgeted to cost day one just under £2,000: now, as a conversion to five residential units, it is valued at around €2 million - but it may also be purchased in smaller, bite-sized lots.
