House on a hill at a snip

NOT a bad price at all for a four bed at Castletownshend – try €275,000 for No 3, the Lawn. One of 43 houses built in the early 2000s by Fleming Construction in this quintessentially pretty west Cork village on a precipitous hill, this is a smart, stone-faced second or primary home, ready to move into.

Estate agent Peter Skuse of Cahalane Skuse is selling the attractive spot, with two attic-level bedrooms, two first-floor bedrooms, and scope even for a fifth bedroom at ground floor level, in lieu of a family room.
