Starter Home: Cappoquin, West Waterford, €75,000

River House in Cappoquin may be derelict, but it has history and great views of the River Blackwater.

Situated on an elevated site overlooking the water and the Avonmore Bridge, it’s a mid 19th Century property, which was once the home of the Daly family who served as riverboat captains for over a century.

Selling agents Peter Barry Property Consultants are seeking offers of €75,000 for the two-storey property which looks like a single-storey cottage from the front.
