Starter Home: Cottage in Passage West is well worth the effort

Tommy Barker on a house with harbour views and lots of potential.

You’ll need to roll up your sleeves and get renovating, or building, and garden clearing at this cul de sac-set cottage, off Dock Cottages and Bay View in Cork harbour’s Passage West.

Set off Church Hill, this cute-looking old world cottage with brick detail features around windows and door needs full renovation, says agent Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing, who seeks offers of €100,000.
