Your Pallace comes with its own quay

UNIQUENESS is the selling point being stressed for what is probably the dearest house ever to hit Kinsale’s property market.

Pallace Wharf, indeed a one-off, has a €4.3 million asking price, not a bad target for a place that has never before even been a home. It has not one, not two, but three selling agents, Sheehy Brothers in Kinsale, Hamilton Osborne King in Cork city, and Knight Frank in London. Since hitting the market last week it has already had some local, national and international inquires, says Peter Cave of HOK.

The converted 165-year old building, now with five en suite bedrooms, served as a warehouse for Kinsale’s 19th century fishing industry, and still has its own slipway and dock on the Scilly promontory, along with a 1,600 sq ft boathouse, previously used for smoking fish.
