Large new build in prized west Cork area

A COUNTRY of drumlins, lakes, and coastline, the Shepperton Lakes/Union Hall area is all about the landscape.

Close enough to the city for the second-homers and with good facilities available at Clonakilty and Skibbereen, it’s the ideal mix of waters, wild and... shopping.

And, if being away from the coast a little isn’t a problem, then this new build at Brade, Union Hall, could be right as a main or breakaway home. It’s not cheap, at €725,000, but then, west Cork does try to brazen-out the property downturn.

Consistent demand is the key and selling agent for Brade, Liam Hodnett, of SWS Property Services, says that the region has had a busy selling season this autumn.

Brade comes with that little bit extra, he says, and includes a stable block, a large site, and a tastefully-designed house of 2,500 square feet.

It’s a short drive to Leap, Union Hall, and Glandore, as well as Rineen Harbour and woods.

With 2,500 square feet of space, divided into five bedrooms and a run of living space, the house also comes with planning for a large, domestic standard garage.

Fixtures and fittings are good and the sheer space of the property, as well as lakeside views, are sure to woo the viewer.
