Skip down to Skibb, price is right

CHEAPER by a mile, and up a new by-pass road under construction as well, the Skibbereen west Cork houses at Chapel Court are being launched next weekend, with prices to tempt buyers to switch from renting.

Developers Willowford (they’re the company with plans to move Bantry Blues GAA club to a new site as well) are to build 54 new homes at this elevated site above the market town, but the first 22 will carry sales for the next year or so.

Completed homes, including a showhouse, go on display next weekend, and as prices start from €190,000 for a three-bed mid-terraced town house of 1,048 sq ft, keen interest is expected, says Pater Skuse of selling agents Cahalane Skuse, acting jointly with Pat Maguire Properties.
