Coastal cottage ticks all the right boxes

EXPECTING Easter weekend drive-bys and renewed viewings is West Cork estate agent and surveyor John Kerr, whose survey of this seaside home includes the picturesque descriptive word ’haggard.’

This is a package for pragmatic dreamers and romantics, the elusive package of stone farmhouse, stone outbuildings, half acre plot, views and southerly aspect, beach to hand, and city and airport an hour away.

It’s a total renovation and make-over job, of course, and hasn’t been lived in for some time, but the potential is screamingly obvious, to anyone who’s climbed over the roadside gate and into the sun-trap yard, especially.
