What will €350,000 buy in Dublin and west Cork?

Town & Country: A tower with a view, or a two-bedroom mid-terrace in Kilmainham

TOWN

Address 42 Donnellan Avenue, Ceannt Fort, Mount Brown, Kilmainham, Dublin 8
Agent Allen & Jacobs
This two-bedroom 70sq m property in the ever-popular Ceannt Fort is within walking distance of the city centre. The mid-terrace house, although well maintained and with a south-facing courtyard, could do with modernisation.
Plus Popular location
Minus BER of E1 will need addressing

COUNTRY

Address Dromnea, Kilcrohane, Co Cork
Agent Harrington Estates
This tower lies on 10 acres overlooking Sheep's Head peninsula. Essentially a restoration project, permission was granted in 2008 to restore the keep, which dates from the early 1800s, and convert it to a dwelling. The land fronts on to Dunmanus Bay, which has spectacular sea frontage.
Plus A dream waterfront project with lots of potential
Minus Building costs are high
