The real thing in West Cork

IT’S not often you get the Real McCoy but this little rusty-roofed number at Lehenagh, Lislevane, is an authentic traditional cottage.

And it’s affordable to a certain demographic at €345,000 when you take into consideration its location in pricey West Cork.

Small but perfectly formed, its in an area of outstanding coastal beauty, says selling agent, John Twomey of Twomey Crowley, and has views straight out to sea from its front door.

On a half acre site, it has plenty of scope for expansion and would make an ideal holiday home.

Right now, it has a kitchen/dining room, a sitting room, two bedrooms and a shower room on the ground floor with a loft bedroom overhead.

Close to the headlands Head and Dunworley beach, the cottage is five miles from Courtmacsherry and six miles from Clonakilty.

It’s also just a half hour’s drive to Cork city. Let’s not forget, when the sun shines here, it’s God’s country.
