CO CORK:€2.75M The good life beckons in west Cork where a five-acre property on the water in Glandore has been reduced in price to attract fresh interest.
CALLED GLANDORE, and located on the outskirts of the popular village, it's a mini compound, with a main house, two additional cottages and a whole series of outbuildings and barns offering plenty of scope for conversion.
The real beauty of the property, however, is the two-acre walled garden which, according to sales agent Charlie McCarthy of Charles McCarthy estate agents of Skibbereen, is the finest of its kind in the south-west. A 90ft glass house is filled with exotic plants. Built in the 1840s as the stables and courtyard to nearby Stone Hall, Glandore has already attracted interest from the UK, where affluent downsizers have a zeal for self-sufficiency. With its own boathouse and slipway, this could also make an idyllic holiday home for the very rich.
The main house is a two-storey house in good condition with plenty of light flooding in through high vaulted ceilings. There is a cute gardeners cottage, and a courtyard cottage that brings the total accommodation at Glandore up to 557sq m (6,000sq ft) - plenty of space, in other words, for the house guests that new owners can expect in droves.
