Starter homes: Four bedroomed family home with all fittings and furniture

Tommy Barker reports on a family home that is convenient to Cork and east Cork’s beaches and offers all the trappings of a peaceful country living.

THE good life, in an East Cork village by the sea, beckons, at pretty Ballymacoda. And, it’s an affordable package too, at €150,000, with the option to buy the very well-finished private home with all its furniture and contents included for an extra sum.

Thus a walk-in job, it’s almost a swim-in job too as there’s a selection of beaches within a couple of miles at Ballywilling and a harbour at Knockadoon, plus Blue Flag beaches at Garryvoe and Youghal.
