Lot of Freemount house for your money

CHEAPER than it would cost to build is this Freemount, north Cork detached 3,000 sq ft detached family home – carrying a €175,000 asking price.

In some quarters that €175k sum might just about get you a one or two-bed apartment you could just about swing a cat in: here’s you’d graze a pony or calf, or at least give a large dog a run for his money.

The reason for the great value, primarily, is its rural, low-key location, but if the setting suits, you’ll get a lot of house for your money.
