Seaside location a winner

JUST done up on the inside, and now being worked on the landscaping outside, this Blind Strand house on an acre is sure-fired seller.

Why? Well, the seaside location within an easy 45-minute drive of Cork city and airport, basically.

Location is a couple of miles from Courtmacsherry village, with Bandon and Clonakilty towns a short drive away, and the lush coastal hinterland is dotted with beaches and coves: Blind Strand is a good sheltered inlet ideal for swimming, boating and general summer disporting.

Last up for sale only a few years ago for €240,000, it has been re-worked and improved, and is now priced at €380,000 by Martin Kelleher of SWS Property Services in Clonakilty.

The compact-enough three-bedroomed bungalow, with sitting room, kitchen and bathroom has recently had a new kitchen fitted, and other decorative touches have smartened up its appeal and externally the vendors are in the throes of laying an Indian sandstone patio and improving car parking areas are being improved.

The acre plot is a stroll to the beach, which is close enough to drag the blow-up boat and picnic paraphernalia to, and the roads are quiet and demand to be walked.
