Ideal property for first buyer

SHANAWAY Cottage near Ballineen in West Cork is expected to appeal to a first-time buyer. It’s a renovated property with half an acre of gardens which also has full planning permission for an extension which would triple its size.

Selling agents ERA Murray in Bandon say the two bedroomed cottage was upgraded in the last 10 years and is in excellent condition. Located less than two miles from Ballineen and 10 from Bandon, it’s on the market with an asking price of €260,000.

To the front there’s a living room with an open fireplace and tiled flooring and to the rear a kitchen/dining room with fitted units, a vaulted ceiling and patio doors. The cottage also has a bathroom, a utility room and two bedrooms, including one with an en suite.
