IN a glum summer for estate agents across the county, Sherry FitzGerald McMahon Kilrush, has bucked the trend by achieving €1,000,000 for Chif Cottage, Kilkee, which was auctioned on August 16.
This success needs to be appreci- ated in the context that the property carried a guide price of €/00,000,
so exceed its value by €300,000.
The old-fashioned detached stone- built cottage enjoys a wonderful location, directly on the cliff top, accessed from George’s Head drive and within a stone’s throw of the cen- tre of Kilkee.
While the house is in need of con- siderable moderisation and _ refur- bishment — its selling point was un- doubtedly its enviable location.
