Trading up: Kilcrea Hill, Ovens, Cork €460,000

A short hop from Killumney village in Co Cork, in an area that according to Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald is highly desireable is this 5-bed, detached Kilcrea Hill house.

A ranging, dormer bungalow with rooms enought to track the sun’s progress all day, it’s ideal for a family and priced at the trader-upper market at €460,000.

And you get a lot of house for that money, along with a site of three-quarters of an acre with full southerly views over the Cork and Kerry mountains in the far distance.
