Trading Up: Currabinny, Cork €520,000

With 3,000 sq ft on offer, there’s more than enough house in Béal na Laoi for almost any family — but, there’s more to it than that. 

This early 2000s build, a comfortable six-bed home, also has an 800 sq ft upgraded and tasty old stone cottage on its 0.75 acre of grounds.

Location is on the way into Currabinny, in Cork harbour, overlooking water and Drakes Pool, but, despite the Laoi, or Lee, in the house name, in fact the estuary that it overlooks is that of the Owenabue river.
