Sq m 165 (1,750 sq ft)

Made as bright inside as a traditional West Cork farmhouse can be without blitzing walls is this home near Bantry and Skibbereen, on a half acre.

Set off the N71 at Colomane East, with expansive rural views, this upgraded home also has a glass-roofed front sun room for even more daylight savouring. It’s all priced at 215,00 by estate agent Micheal Duggan of Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill in its re-opened Skibbereen office.
