Take your pick between waterfront cottage or wharf-side townhouse

ON the western fringes of Kinsale town, two houses in adjoining developments are on the market with Patricia O’Regan of local firm, Sheehy Brothers.

Number 7 Viking Wharf is a three-storey townhouse that, while modern, has the vernacular slate-hung facade that’s peculiar to Kinsale, and is just a short walk from the town centre.

Overlooking the water, the Dock and the Castlepark marina on the other side, this award-wining development has always been a good investment, says Ms O’Regan.

Given a guide price of €450,000, number 7 makes the most of its location with an open plan kitchen/ dining and living room of 25’ by 24’ on the first floor while the house’s three bedrooms are spread out over the remaining two floors.

Bedroom one and a shower room are just off the main entrance hallway, with the en suite master, second bedroom and main bathroom on the second floor.

The property also comes with a detached garage which doubles as a utility. A central vacuum system is in place and heating is electric.

Meanwhile, the same agents are selling 2, Lobster Cottages at World’s End, one of just five dormer properties built eight years ago in a cottage style.

This is continued inside where there is an open plan living area, a well-fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom. Number 2 carries a guide price of €350,000.
