Buy a beachside oasis and enjoy the views

WHAT a setting. That’s the verdict on this beachside home, in a cove so little used it could be yours alone for much of the year.

The house you could take or leave, but what it does do is cosy on down to the view, and once you have it bought, well you can look at ways to maximise the setting, subject, of course, to planners approval.

Set at Sheeps Cove, five miles from Clonakilty via the south Ring (Deasy’s bar, one of three pubs in the village, is a foodie’s haven) is one of the area’s less frequented beaches and coves, and nearby Simon’s Cove is a better known bathing spot.
