Harbour four-bed has room for six cars

DOWN a leafy avenue of mature, detached houses stands Altamira, a four-bedroom house with an established site at Beech Court, Passage West.

This area of south Cork is on the way up and new builds are happening all the time. “However, it’s hard to get a house and a site of this size and maturity,” says Jean Shanahan of DNG Harris, who’s looking for offers in the region of €745,000 for this two-storey property.

The house has some exceptional design features, not least the L-shaped living room with its wide, seventies fireplace and cut stone surround.
