Waterside cottage a little bit of heaven

A LITTLE bit of heaven is how Liz Hannon of English Auctioneers describes this waterside cottage at Glenmore, Cobh.

An executor’s sale, properties like this never come up for sale, she says, and the three-bed is already under offer at €420,000 from a starting point of €395,000.

On the eastern side of Great Island, the house is just two minutes from Glenmore beach and is 10 minutes drive from the town along the Valley road. The cottage sits on a generous half acre site, with grounds running to the water in a local beauty spot.

Although the cottage will need some upgrading, it’s in good condition generally. The cottage has a traditional layout with a sitting room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom.
