Waterside home in film star’s neighbourhood

ALL a boating enthusiast could want, says the selling agent of this waterfront Skibbereen home with views across Roaringwater Bay to Jeremy Irons Giant Peachey castle at Kilcoe.

A 15-year-old bungalow, on an acre site with waterfrontage, a shingle beach and scope for a pontoon is on offer at €525,000 with Ballydehob, West Cork agent Martin Swanton and really gives house hunters a second, stronger chance to buy.

He had a swift sale agreed on this spot at Church Cross earlier in the summer, but it was part of a ‘chain’ sale to a British couple, whose own house sale fell through at the final hurdle.
