“Discover the Up-and-Coming Village of Castlemartyr: A Colourful Starter Home for Sale”

Castlemartyr, an up-and-coming village in East Cork, should be on the radar for homebuyers looking to invest in a location with tremendous potential. The latest Michelin kid on the block, Terre at the 5-star Castlemartyr Resort, has already secured a star, making it an even more attractive proposition. The resort, located just across the road from No 4 Main Street, has invested €8m in the past year; its magnificent parklands were a haven for the house owners during the recent pandemic.

No 4 Main Street is a deceptive property, with plenty to offer beyond its kerbside appearance. The owners, a single mother and her young son, were attracted to the property after the mother spotted that it was for sale during a visit from Cornwall in the UK. After moving in, the owners used their creative flair to transform the property into a distinctive, colourful home with plenty of characterful touches.

Recent makeovers on Castlemartyr’s Main Street have breathed new life into the village. First-time buyers have been buying up probate sales and putting in lots of work, rejuvenating the area. On Main Street, buyers will find a wealth of amenities, including the Village Greengrocer foodhall, a post office, a bank, a couple of nice pubs and cafes, and other retail. The village is less than a 10-minute drive from beaches like Garryvoe and Ballywilling, while Midleton town is about a 0 minute drive and Cork City is less than half an hour away.

No 4 Main Street is currently on the market, and Judy O’Brien of ERA Downey McCarthy is the selling agent. Guiding at €190,000, the property is perfect for first-time buyers or a small family. The owner hopes that whoever buys the property has as much luck as they did living there and believes that “East Cork is Best Cork”.
