Trading up: Gaggin, West Cork €360,000

You wouldn’t want to be paying attention to speed limit signs when re-joining the main Bandon-Clonakilty road at hideaway Gaggin — because one of them could get you killed.
Gaggin’s a pretty stretch of back road parallel to the N71 at the old Clonakilty rail junction setting, with a dozen or so homes stretched along its narrow strip of country lane. And, having carefully negotiated its western-most end there’s an encouraging 100km\\h speed sign oh, about 50m to 100m before the quite blind junction.
