Outstanding in its fields

Tommy Barker says this Co Cork home has lots of landscape features.

A CHANCE for some self-sufficient living comes with this south Cork home and property package, built just five years ago but done in an older style and look.

Off the Cork to Kinsale road at Ballingarry west, a couple of miles from Belgooly and five or six from Kinsale, this is a detached, all stone-faced family home with four bedrooms, 2,400 sq ft of space, two acres of productive grounds and old stone outbuilding. There’s a polytunnel for veg, salad and herb growing, plus a chicken coop and run, as well as space for a pig or two, all for a comparative chicken feed price of €650,000.
