Oodles of space and distant views of Capel Island and Youghal Bay are on offer at Summerfield Lodge in East Cork.

Seafront properties built by the Victorians along the Front Strand have for a great many years been among the best places to live or stay in Youghal.

Guiding at €99,000, this cottage in East Cork could be ideal for a first-timer with DIY skills or as a single-storey house for retirees, says Trish Dromey.
