Capel View comes with a Blue Flag beach right on your doorstep

CALLED after an island hoving into view in Youghal, Capel View is one of those rare buys - it is right on the town’s Front Strand, with a Blue Flag beach that goes on, and on, right on its doorstep.

Homes here only rarely come up for sale, and most often are passed from one family member to another, says Billy Gallagher of Sherry FitzGerald. He guides this market arrival at €500,000, and says viewings have just kicked off as sea and beach temperatures stay tantalisingly high.

Those dipping a toe into Capel View will find a detached home with large back garden, plenty of space over several levels (two in front, three to the rear,) plus attic rooms.)

With bay windows over ground and first floor level on the front facade for even more of a vista, it has a sitting room, dining room, kitchen and pantry, utility, rear reception room and WC, five bedrooms, main bathroom on stairs return.

It has central heating, and replacement double glazed windows, but the interior overall needs modernising and TLC.

Bonuses include the great location and aspect, square footage, some period detailing, and a large rear garden with side access and old shed/garage.
