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.)
