GLOBAL Properties are offering a cottage of a different colour in the east Cork town of Carrigtwohill at the moment.

Located close to Barryscourt Castle, 9 Father O’Keeffe Tce is on offer at €270,000, and is a three bed detached house which is ideal for first-timers, says Donal Collins.

On an eighth of an acre site, in a green belt area, there’s plenty of room to extend, he says and the property also comes with a garage.

While the house needs a little TLC, it’s in good condition and would reward any investment, says Collins.

It comes with kitchen/living room, utility, three bedrooms and an external WC. The house will need an internal bathroom and, perhaps, a new living room, but it’s convenience to the village of Carrigtwohill and Cork city will be strong selling points.
