Dromanallig, Ballingeary, Co. Cork, P12 W903

4-Bed Property in the Heart of Ballingeary Village

Ideally located in the very centre of Ballingeary, this four-bedroom property offers an exciting opportunity for its next owner. While in need of light refurbishment and modernisation, it presents immense potential.

All village amenities—including the local shop, schools, pubs, and community facilities—are within easy walking distance. The property also benefits from a side garden, currently laid to grass, offering outdoor space for relaxation.

Having been vacant for a number of years, the property is likely to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, adding to its appeal for both owner-occupiers and investors.
