Whatever about houses in the sun, Irish holiday homes, in certain areas at least, are hugely sought after. Take Rosie's Cottage, in Tara Hill, near Ballymoney, Co Wexford. This two-and-a-half-acre property has just come on the market and as soon as local agent Michael Kinsella, who, with Gunne Residential, is handling the sale, put the board up, the queues started forming to pick up a brochure. The two-storey cottage has terrific sea views and there's a second cottage in the grounds, called Kate's Cottage. Dublin yuppies with Rosies and Kates in the family will be falling over themselves to buy the property The guide price? £250,000 and rising. It goes to auction on March 14th.
