Join a genuine well-serviced coastal community at pretty Rosscarbery

Don’t judge the book by the cover, or the property by the modest street facade, at Abbey Lodge.

This street-side end-terraced home is just off the main square in Rosscarbery, West Cork, and has a modern style of decor, is ‘deceptively spacious’ according to its selling agent, and it has a walled, private back garden with white painted walls and a scattering of palm trees for an instant ‘on holiday’ vibe.

Carrying a 135,000 AMV via agent Jeremy Murphy Auctioneers in Cork City, he says Abbey Lodge will suit a single buyer, a couple, traders down or as a second/holiday home: given that Ross is just over an hour from Cork city, with a regular bus services, and has beaches, all services and amenities to hand, there could be a spread of interest, and the fact the interior has been upgraded is a bonus.

There’s a front living room with fireplace and painted wood-sheeted ceilings, there’s a recently fitted kitchen behind with tiled floor, garden access and dining area, and three first floor bedrooms with shower room/WC.
