Upgraded home has own stream

WILDLIFE frolics in the foreground where a stream trickles through, the old estate trees and pasture of the abandoned Kincraigie Estate form a backdrop where horses graze, there are glimpses of the harbour at Courtmacsherry down below through the valley, beaches back over the headland; yes, Brookhill House has quite a bit in its favour.

The upgraded 1970s four-bed house has 2,600 sq ft of space, which includes a two-bed apartment. Quietly set up a hill from the Courtmacsherry Hotel in West Cork, and near the start of the Seven Heads walk, it is just enough of a remove from the summer throng, yet close enough to amble down to the popular village for a pint of milk, or a pint or two of something stronger.

Decorated in Cape Cod style, it is newly up for sale with Ray O’Neill of Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill, jointly with Timoleague estate agent Niall O’Sullivan, with an approachable €430,000-plus price guide. The area’s well-served with natural beauty, amenities, and seaside activities for all ages.
