Cutting your cloth in property? Kilmackillogue, Kerry might suit

Trish Dromey says the tailor might be long gone, but his Beara Peninsula cottage has been tastefully dressed up.

The tailor of Killmacillogue may be long gone from the Beara Peninsula but the charm of his thick stone walled property remains, as does the giant oak tree in his garden “The Tailors House”, was bought some 20 years ago by a US couple who renovated and extended, keeping traditional features but adding large windows to make the most of the views of Kilmackillogue Harbour and the Caha Mountains.

Guiding at €395,000 it’s on the market with DNG O’Sullivan in Kenmare who say it has much to attract buyers looking for holiday homes in a popular Ring of Beara location, especially foreign house-hunters.
