Full make-over and fine sea views will sell the Point

GET straight to the Point, if you want a fully reworked home with sea and harbour views, and a burgeoning village on your doorstep.

A growing family, and a penchant for horses means the couple who renovated, converted and extended this home over the last three years have moved on, and it is ready for others now to move into and simply furnish.

Selling agent is Michael McKenna of McKenna O’Donoghue Clarke who is looking for offers around €420,000 for the three-bedroom detached home after a full make-over.

Its selling points include location on the Point road beyond Crosshaven’s boatyard and views across the harbour to Currabinny from its deck and first-floor balcony.

Initially, it was a four-bedroom home, but now, the upper level has a plush modern bathroom - replacing a tiny original - with large power shower, deep bath, three bedrooms and a small office.

At ground level, the house has been stretched out by virtue of a 10ft-deep sun room across the entire front of the property, altering its farmhouse-look and giving it a bit of a contemporary twist as result of a large glass-fronted balcony on top.

Rooms include long hall, living room with wood-burning stove, lounge, dining room to the front, very good kitchen with rosewood units and granite tops. Cosiness is enhanced thanks to double glazing and oil heating.

There’s a tucked-away parking spot just off the Point road, under the deck, and the tight site has a small rear garden.
