Trading up: Ardfield, Clonakilty €345,000

Lovely, old world character — and land, and a gazebo — comes with Mountain Common Farmhouse, in the dispersed West Cork village Ardfield, six miles from Clonakilty.

There’s huge charm in the main, airy four-bed and older-era home, which has slate floors, exposed timbers, and whitewashed walls. Alongside are old outbuildings done up as two en suite guest bedrooms, note agents Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill, who guide at €345,000 all-in.

They add it’s on an acre of gardens with gazebo/sun-rooms with sea views, and there’s also a 0.75 acre field that may have site potential.
