West Cork home has lagoon view

THEY are called the new houses in Rosscarbery, Co Cork, but this terrace on Convent Road is more than 50 years old. Time moves slow in the west Cork village.

And the first one of the row to hit the open market is now for sale at €270,000 through John Hodnett of SWS Property Services.

Great views over the lagoon and a view straight south could make this a goer — as will the location and price.

No 22, Convent Road is a two-storey with large addition at the side and a dining room extension at the rear.

It stands on lovely gardens leading down to the road and close to the children’s playground and would make an ideal starter or holiday home, according to John Hodnett.

It’s a three bed property, which, while it will need central heating, is in pristine condition, he adds.

It comes with a sitting room, dining room, galley style kitchen, a second reception room and a ground floor bedroom with en suite bathroom. Overhead, there are two more bedrooms and a main bathroom.

No 22 is a short walk from the heart of Rosscarbery village.
