Well-priced package offers good value for money

DUNWORLEY beach is down the road and the green fields of west Cork surround this renovated farmhouse at Lisseycremin.

The house, a collection of outbuildings and a well-tended site of an acre are part of a sales package pitched at €495,000 through Ray O’Neill of Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill.

This is down considerably on its previous target, he says, and the house offers good value with the standard of accommodation on offer, the location and the price drop, of course.

In a private, tree-lined setting, the property would make a spacious family, retirement or holiday home, and it’s a stress-free buy because it comes fully renovated, says O’Neill.

This traditional stone-built house is well designed and maximises on sunlight because of a south-facing orientation, he says.

Accommodation includes a kitchen/dining room, sitting room, lounge with patio doors to garden, utility, wc and shower, bedroom/study on ground floor and three bedrooms with bathroom on first floor.

Added to the main dwelling is a lofted stone outhouse with 376 square feet on the upper floor and potential for a studio/workshop/whatever on the ground floor.

This addition is ideal for visitors and could, with a little tweaking, function as a self-contained apartment/ guest cottage.

There’s also another stone building which might be suitable as a stable and it leads out to a half acre paddock at the rear.

The rest of the land is in gravelled parking, lawn and beds and the boundary is defined by mature trees. All in all, a tidy little getaway. With Easter on the way, it might be time to book an appointment.
