Trading up: Banteer, Cork €350,000

Sq m: 163 (1,750 sq ft)

Billed as a lifestyle buy is Curragh Lodge, a detached four-bed family home on 12 acres, with stables, barn, glasshouse, lofted detached garage, and more.

The 1,750 sq ft home at Clonmeen, Banteer, North Cork, is guided at €350,000 by Mallow-based agents ERA O’Connell, which noted a recent major sale of Clonmeen House, a fine Victorian period 10-bed gem, for about €1m; now that’s a lifestyle buy!
