House of the week: Three cheers for three acres in Cork at €285,000

IT PAYS to keep both ears, and eyes, open, if and when at home at this three-acre, wildlife-friendly spot at West Cork’s unusually titled Three-Gneeves.

At first glance, this new-to-market property is “just” a rural bungalow, unremarkable for its immediate exterior, with just shy of 1,000 sq ft of tidy living space within, and it’s guided on its late summer launch at €285,000, by agent Tristan Kingston of Hodnett Forde auctioneers.
