Live next to an historic fort

VIEWERS looking over 1 Charlesfort Terrace in Kinsale have every right to feel defensive - they can expect armada-like hordes to come a-bidding.

The end-of-terrace three-bedroom home is near the centuries-old Charles Fort, one of the town’s key tourism attractions, and set above the Bulman pub in Summercove, overlooking Kinsale harbour and town. Originally built by the County Council, the row of houses is now almost wholly owned by private residents.

No 1 Charlesfort Terrace has a €370,000-plus price guide with Mark Kelly of Hamilton Osborne King, and could well tip over the €400,000 level in active bidding.
