Strand, down a nice few grand, is surely deserving of your attention

DOWN by 40% in price is the Georgian original Strand House, a Clonakilty offering down now to €600,000 — after two and a half years on the market.

It arrived for sale in spring 2007, seeking €975,000, and missing the property market’s boom by a full year.

After a series of cuts, it is within a wide reach of likely buyers now, who will get an immaculate period four-bed home, with separate a pristine self-contained one-bed guesthouse across a charming courtyard, as well as shed, garage 1.5 acres of naturalistic gardens, with pond and abundant wildlife.
