Trading up: Kinsale, Cork; €750,000

Outstanding it its field, in a literal sense especially, is this big, Kinsale region family bungalow at Clonleigh, spanning a decent 2,000 sq ft, but even that is dwarfed by its size: it’s on a very considerable 11 acres, set in the midst of several paddocks. With sea and harbour views.
