Renovated farmhouse on west Cork’s lovely Toe Head

ALREADY extended and renovated, this three-bed farmhouse/holiday home conversion is at Lickowen, on west Cork’s stunning Toe Head.

The 1,200 sq ft two-storey house is an unusual plot size for the area, with 4.5 acres, for a price of €290,000, via Skibbereen agent, Maeve McCarthy, of Charles P McCarthy.

The period cottage has kept its traditional look at the front, with blue windows contrasting with fresh, white paint. Its original ground floor area is just two rooms: to the right, a 14’ by 11’ open sitting room with inglenook fireplace, slate floor and timber stairs; to the left, a smaller, 9’ by 11’ study, with front and two side gable windows, either side of the chimney breast.
