Banish the blues with Millcove cottage

DOWNEEN, near Rosscarbery in west Cork, might just be the place to banish the blues.

Just sold here over the summer on the road to the pretty and safe inlet and pier at Millcove is a blue-painted semi-detached cottage, finding new owners from Britain for a low €200,000s sum via agent Jeremy Murphy.

Hot on the heels of that successful sale is an offering of a detached house, of the same blue hue, with a €270,000 asking price, jointly with Mr Murphy and Pat Maguire.
