Trading up: Glandore, Cork €345,000

Glandore’s stylish five-bed bungalow called Montbretia, after the naturalised West Cork plant, is one of the dozens of Irish properties being taken to the Sherry FitzGerald London Property Fair at this month’s end.
The 2,400 sq ft home in smart internal order, and on a 0.75 acre site, carries a guide price of €345,000 with Clonakilty agent Ray O’Neill who goes to London with high sales hopes for some of his coastal and rural listings. After all, he secured a €1m-plus UK buyer from last year’s event for Seaclusion, a contemporary build above Rosscarbery and the Warren Strand.
