Bids of €1m received for dated, chalet-style bungalow overlooking Inchydoney beach

Bidding for the house, which needs a revamp, started at under €430,000 but rose to €1.15m after nearly 70 bids. No Inchydoney property has come near the €1m price point until now

West Cork’s Blue Flag beach Inchydoney is having a post-covid property ‘moment in the sun’ — a dated, chalet-style bungalow overlooking the beach has received a bid of over €1m.

JCB diggers and hard-hatted builders look likely to join the famous beach’s bucket and spade brigade if the sale of a 1,100 sq ft house, which needs a revamp, near the hotel goes through after recent days of frenzied bidding.
