Trading up: Goleen, West Cork €230,000

Quietly on the market for a while, now this three-bed semi-d in West Cork’s scenic Goleen near Crookhaven and beaches has had a price drop as a new spring selling season comes around — bringing a bit of spring in the market too.
No 2 Rockview is one of 12 stone-faced houses built about eight years ago by Leonard Ford, just above and on the western side of the coastal village, and has a decent c1,400 sq of space, which makes it accommodating for full-time as well as second-home/ holiday use.
