When you’ve got a fabulous view over Beara then it’s a bonus to have pretty windows framing it.

This four-bed detached home at Rodeen, Castletownbere in West Cork was built in 2005 as a holiday bolthole for a family living south of Cork city. Now this stone-faced house with modern sash windows is a €650k executor sale.

Its elevated 1.6 acre site gives it both coastal and mountain scenery overlooking Bantry Bay and Bere Island. And you’re a five-minute (3km) spin from Castletownbere itself with its renowned MacCarthy’s Bar and seafood gastropubs. There is actually a footpath and lighting pretty much all the way into the town from the main road so you could cycle into town too, notes Kieran O’Sullivan of JJ O’Sullivan, Beara Estate Agent.

“People will love the fact there’s no exterior painting needed here and you’ve got a small supermarket at the garage just 850 metres away with those fabulous water views from the front of the house.”

Downstairs at this B3-rated home you’ve got two separate large living rooms — one with a vaulted ceiling and north-south views; the other is triple-aspect with an open fireplace — as well as an open-plan kitchen/dining room. There’s also one ensuite bedroom at this level. And upstairs there are three more double bedrooms. Two of these are ensuite and one has a walk-in wardrobe as well.

There’s also a Stira leading to an attic space that could make a great games room.
