Move to The Sycamores and bring the ponies

PERFECT for ponies and yet this smashing house on the Baltimore Road is only a half mile from the west Cork town of Skibbereen.

Just three years old, the property comes with a lovely and leafy site of three-quarters of an acre, but there is the option to purchase 3.5 acres more, says Erin McCarthy of Pat Maguire Properties.

With a tree-lined entrance and utter privacy, this four-bed, two-storey home has the best of both worlds.
