Starter homes: Rosscarbery, West Cork €229,000
You only have to go inside the doors of the detached family home at 1 Cnoc an Aitinn, Inchinattin in West Cork to get a feel for its quality touches and finishes. So says agent Andy Donoghue of Hodnett Forde, of this modern 1,800 sq ft home with large gardens, finished-out attic rooms as play or office rooms, and four bedrooms, two of which have en-suites.
On a quarter-acre, the three-storey house is impressive, says Mr Donoghue, with particular attention paid to lighting (Italian glass lights, LEDs, etc) and woodwork, with hardwood floors. There’s also a secure west-facing back garden.
