A spacious home where the world could be your Oysterhaven

‘EN-SUITE IRELAND’ is still going strong and the property market has confounded the soothsayers by continuing to grow at a rate of 10-15% per annum.

That is why large properties, like this five-bedroomed one at Oysterhaven, will always find a buyer: of course, all of the bedrooms are en-suite. Newly built, this 2,700 square foot dormer overlooks Oysterhaven Creek and the rolling countryside around Kinsale.

The selling agent is Patricia O’Regan, of Sheehy Brothers, who says all of the rooms have views of the sea or harbour.

Quiet and laid back, Oysterhaven is a short commute to the blandishments of Kinsale and the bustle of Cork city.

The house, at Ringville, which is set on an acre, is selling for €480,000.

Kitchen units and fittings are not provided, but solid wooden floors will be in place and tiles laid: the walls will be painted in neutral colours.

The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a large kitchen, a utility room, a conservatory and an additional room, which can be used as a study or bedroom. These rooms are on the ground floor - the upper floor consists of a master bedroom, and three double rooms, all en-suite.

The house has a zoned, pressurised hot water system, a bio-cycle unit, and its own water supply.
