Durrus Village, Durrus, Cork West

2 storey commercial building (a former licenced premises with overhead accommodation) strategically located in the centre of Durrus village with substantial road frontage and excellent visibility from approach roads from both the Sheep's Head and Mizen peninsulas.  The property has full planning permission to demolish the existing building and construct 3 residential units and one retail unit with overhead storage.

LOCATION:

The property is situated in the thriving and expanding West Cork village of Durrus -gateway to the Mizen and Sheep's Head peninsulas - and a 10 minute drive from the bustling market town of Bantry and 1.5 hours from Cork city.

Durrus has undergone a major expansion in recent years with the construction of new residential developments and is now 'satellite' accommodation for Bantry and Skibbereen as both towns are within an easy commuting distance.  Durrus is a good place for buy-to-let properties and the long term rental market is very healthy.

Durrus has a constantly expanding permanent resident base and offers excellent services for a village of its size.   Amenities offered include a pre-school, 2 primary schools, 2 churches, a community sports field with children's playground and tennis court, a community hall, weekly medical clinic, transport to Bantry, daily buses to secondary schools in Bantry and Schull and a mobile library service.

Durrus is also a tourist 'mecca' owing to its central West Cork location and is an ideal base for touring the Sheep's Head and Mizen peninsulas; Schull (with its renowned sailing centre); Barleycove and Toormoor (with their miles and miles of sandy beaches) and the charmiing coastal villages of Crookhaven and Goleen.  The popular 'Sheep's Head Way' walking trail and cycling route pass through Durrus from Bantry en-route to Ahakista and Kilcrohane.THE DEVELOPMENT:
