Pretty cottage renovation on scenic Ring of Kerry

THE trains might have run their course down to Glenbeigh in Co Kerry, but Railway Cottage, on the Ring of Kerry, has made its way back to rude health, and now back onto the property market, too.

With its distinctive (ie, love it or loathe it) ‘rough’ plaster exterior, it has been deliberately redone to feature an old-world look, but with modern comforts. A holiday home, and, betimes, a holiday rental, it is new to market with agents, Coyne and Culloty, in Killarney, who seek offers around €235,000.

Two miles from the glorious miles of beach at Rossbeigh, it dates to the region’s railway era, the late 1800s, and this particular, upgraded cottage backs into a wooded, rising hill at Glenbeigh Woods, with the rocky River Beha nearby.
