Great spot to put down roots... and vegetable plants in 130-foot garden

A west Cork village holiday home is all ready for a new owner to put down roots in — it even has its 130 foot-long back garden complete with vegetable garden planted up for the summer months.

The fine weather of last weekend, and sunny spells in between holds the promise of a possible sunny summer ‘09: when it comes, the new owners of this Main Street Union Hall home will be in clover.

The cheery terraced house is in a prime position in the self-sufficient village with real community spirit, and just across the road is a playground and playing pitches. Then, there’s a host of beaches and coves to be explored as well, in this sublime coastal setting and hour or so from Cork city, ferry port and airport.
