Two Cork homes under €200,000 range from town base to Beara project. This week the series moves to Co Cork, where two properties under €200,000 show the contrast available at this level between a more central town location and a rural setting along the Wild Atlantic Way. Both are on the market with Sherry FitzGerald.

Brookvale House on Townshend Street in Skibbereen comes to the market with an asking price of €195,000. Extending to approximately 145 sq m, the property includes four bedrooms and offers a larger footprint than is typically seen at this price point.

Positioned within the town, the house is within walking distance of shops, services and everyday amenities. A TFI Local Link bus stop is located approximately 50m from the property, adding to its accessibility.

Accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a number of reception rooms at ground level and bedrooms overhead. While the property would benefit from some upgrading, its scale and layout provide a solid base for a buyer looking to put their own stamp on a well-located home.

Being in a town setting, the property may appeal to buyers seeking a convenient base, whether for full-time living or as a base in west Cork, with everything close at hand.

2. Inchintaglin

In contrast, a detached farmhouse at Inchintaglin near Adrigole comes to the market with an asking price of €185,000. The property sits on a site of approximately 0.2ac and is located along the Healy Pass Way on the Beara Peninsula.

The house includes three bedrooms and retains a more traditional layout, with separate living and sitting rooms alongside a kitchen and shower room. While it requires refurbishment, it presents a clear opportunity for a buyer to rework a rural dwelling in a scenic part of the county. The property may also qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to eligibility.

A TFI Local Link bus stop is located approximately 1.4km from the property, while both Castletownbere and Glengarriff are within a 15-minute drive. The surrounding area is known for its scenery, with access to walking routes and coastal views along the Wild Atlantic Way.

Compared to the Skibbereen property, it offers a more rural setting and a smaller site, but with greater scope for a buyer looking to take on a project in a well-regarded part of west Cork.
