Quirky Ballycotton seafront property that 'oozes' potential

In an unbeatable location overlooking the pier, this building could be transformed into a comfortable family home

NOT surprisingly, East Cork’s Ballycotton has risen and moved with the tides that sweep around its cliffs, headland and lighthouse-market island, with fishing, maritime movement and, more latterly, tourism among its major employers and sources of income.

Covid-19 impacts notwithstanding, and the occasional ship-wrecks (such as the MV Alta) that fetch up on its jagged shoreline, Ballycotton’s on the crest of a wave right now, both property and lifestyle-wise. It was listed in National Geographic a few years back as one of Europe’s secret villages worth a visit.
