THE rise in sterling’s strength may help to bring a UK buyer to Glebe Shore, at Skibbereen’s Aghadown/Lisheen area along the Ilen river. Equally a buyer might come from far closer to home — how about next door?

Glebe Shore carries a guide of €475,000 with agents Charles P McCarthy in Skibbereen, who’ve just recently gone ‘sale agreed’ on Tony O’Reilly’s Glandore home Shorecliff, at about €1.7m, a sale very much at AIB’s insistence and mentioned in summer court despatches.
