THERE’S interest built up in the last few remaining houses in the 52-unit Fleming Construction development Ard Aoibhinn, in Cork’s Innishannon, the village where West Cork sort of begins to unfold.

It’s about a 20 minute commute from Cork City, and when launched back in 2008 as the market spun off its overwound axis, detached homes here were priced at €570,000 and €650,000. Now, after a flurry of sales of all house types in the past year, the last five are selling from €274,950 to €349,950, via agents Savills, showing a c 50% drop in prices, for high-quality homes built using Fleming’s ‘fusion’ steel frame method, with good B2 and B3 BER ratings secured.
