A Cool proposition

Property at Coolmaine, near Bantry guides at €275,000.

NOW is the time to pick up that breakaway home in the west for next to nothing.

There are cottages, coastal semis, doer-uppers and knocker-downers and some, like this property near Bantry, that are move-in propositions.

And it has broadband – one of those top-of-the-list must-haves in a rural area, but which unfortunately, is hit and miss, even in large conurbations.

A modern, stone-clad dormer bungalow, this Colomane West property has a great open-plan layout in the main living space and at a guide of €275,000, it’s good value for the bones of 2,000 square feet.

With a wide entrance hallway leading through to the south-west facing living space, the house has a lovely, cream kitchen with island unit, an integrated sun room and living room, power showers in both bathrooms and three large bedrooms, with room in the attic for later, if required.
