Schull bungalow on golden west Cork coastline

THERE’S money left in the country for special properties, but whether or not people put their hands up publicly in an auction and let it be known remains to be seen.

Up for auction on June 26 in Cork is a dreamily-set seaside home in Schull, west Cork, on a plum 0.4 acre site. Although the 1970s four-bed bungalow needs upgrading, it will attract a sufficiently well-heeled buyer, prizing its rarity in one of the golden Cork coastline’s best spots.

It come for sale with a €650,000 AMV given by joint agents James Lyons O’Keeffe and Downing Commercial, who stress its two strong selling points; namely the fact it is in walking distance of the sea-faring village’s many bars and restaurants, and its direct water access from its private shoreline to the sea and harbour. The townland is Corrydorrigan.
