Sizeable period home in blessedly prominent town centre location

DIRECTLY across the road from the impressive stone church in west Cork’s Clonakilty town, this sizeable Western Road corner house also dates from the same 1880s period.

The five-bed house is in blessedly prominent town centre setting, and its selling agent Henry O’Leary rightly bills it as a ‘substantial’ property — but adds that the guide price of €450,000 means it can now be considered by a far wider set of possible buyers than it would have seen a few short years ago.

It looks, in fact, like it might have been the presbytery for the church, but in fact the presbytery is right next door, again of similar vintage.
