Hard to stay detached when this showhouse is such good value

DOWN from around €575,000 in the boom, the last detached house in the Abhainn Beag estate in Skibbereen is on the market at €375,000 – and it includes the full showhouse fit-out.

Selling agent Pat Maguire says it’s one of two showhouses remaining at the leafy, Baltimore Road, address, (the Ballsbridge of the Skibbereen), of a 20-house scheme.

With a bit of a pick-up since Christmas, he expects keen interest in this substantial, 2,700 square foot property because of quality and the keenness of the price.
