A chance to grab that dream woodland cottage

HOT on the heels of next door’s sale comes the right-hand-side semi of Woodside, Healy’s Bridge.

Right on the river, these two railway cottages at Carrigrohane, Co Cork, have always sold well and fast. Despite the summer market, the left-side cottage was sale agreed within two weeks at €440,000, and now this property, through Con Nagle of Global Properties, is open to offers close to €430,000.

And it was seven years ago when Mr Nagle last sold this cottage, for a sum then well in excess of the going rate for semis in nearby Ballincollig. This time round, they’re nearly level pegging, he says, which means this three-bedroom, riverside house is good value at the asking price.
