House hunters have set their eyes on the West Cork town but options may be limited.

Although there has been a dearth of new housing developments in Clonakilty since the boom, house hunters now have the option of purchasing in three new developments in or close to the town.

These include a 99-house development at An Sruthan Beag at Clogheen, an 80 unit one at the Miles within a short walk from the town centre and a 13 house one at Cul Ard, Gallanes. In September auctioneer Martin Kelleher released the first 36 houses in An Sruthan Beag, a 99 house development with a range of house types including four and five bed detached houses as well as different sized three and four-bed semis. Sales are going to people who registered an interest online and Mr Kelleher says “ In the last five weeks we have sold 22 houses including all the available four-bed semis for €325,000 and four-bed detached houses for €375,000.
