Cheaper by the dozen

These quaint cottages on Lough Derg can be picked up as a job lot — and for a song, says Tommy Barker

FEELING enterprising, and energetic for the New Year? Fancy a resolution to work for yourself? If so, these 12 holiday cottages at pretty Puckane, near the eastern shores of Lough Derg, could fit your needs.

Far removed from the many anonymous holiday home competition cottages is this scheme of a dozen houses, up for sale as an entire lot with an all-in price tag of just €450,000: that’s about €37,500 each, or just over €14,000 per cottage bedroom.
