A perfect blend of past and present

Union Hall, Cork €260,000

THE sea is just tantalisingly out of view of this lovingly restored 19th century West Cork stone cottage — but it’s only a couple of minutes walk down to a shingle beach.

Positioned for shelter, the downside is the lack of a sea vista, yet parts of Blind Harbour can be glimpsed from this 900 sq ft three-bed home, a couple of miles south of Union Hall and near Castlehaven harbour.
