Kerry cottage good as new

THIS cottage at Booleenshere is possibly the most affordable summer home on the market in the Ballyheigue area at present. It has been extended and given a complete makeover.

Located five miles from the popular north Kerry seaside village, it’s a three bedroom property with an asking price of €170,000. “It’s been re-plumbed, re-plastered and re-roofed,” says Tom Collins of Remax auctioneers in Tralee. The 800 sq ft cottage has an open-plan timber-floored kitchen/dining/sitting room, fireplace and timber ceiling.

There’s a bathroom and three timber floored bedrooms, one en suite. The cottage has gravelled parking at the front and a small garden at the rear. It’s a short drive from the beach and golf course.
