Country
Address: Ahaguilla, Clonakilty, west Cork
Agent: Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill, west Cork
Standing on almost three acres about four miles from the town of Clonakilty, this extended farmhouse extends to a considerable 298sq m (3,200sq ft). As it was enlarged to become a retreat centre, it currently has 12 bedrooms but could easily be reduced to a more manageable number. As it has lain idle for a number of years, it should qualify for the vacant property refurbishment grant according to its selling agent. It has a Ber of D2 and retains considerable road frontage and level, fertile land – so has lots of possibilities.
Plus: Large house and site
Look inside: Detached and remodelled home on a corner site in Stillorgan for €1.175m
We’re worried there may be asbestos in my father-in-law’s shed roof. What should we do?
Upgraded and extended Rathfarnham four-bed for €725,000
One of the residents in our apartment block is spying on everyone. What can we do?
Minus: Ber of D2 will need addressing

Minus: Some rooms appear dark due to navy paint – but it’s an easy cosmetic fix
