Glandore beckons with prime semi-d at The Terrace

LITTLE point in speculating now about what would have been paid five years ago for a Glandore perch like 1, The Terrace – the point now is will this prime-perch property with shore frontage be bid above its market reality €400,000 asking price.

Dating most likely to the early 1900s, it is described as semi-detached, and is the book-ending, southern-most house in this neighbourly set of three.

A near neighbour in this most chic of west Cork enclaves (number-cruncher Carol Vorderman had one of the best modern homes here) is Sir Anthony O’Reilly, where his sprawling coastal family pile Shorecliffe is used infrequently by several O’Reilly generations.
