Buyers will find a safe harbour in this coastal gem

NAMED after a beach in Wales, and owned by a Welsh woman and her solicitor husband, Setlands, built in 1974, is an architect-designed house high in Cork’s harbour region.

The property, which has 3,000 sq ft of space, is in one of the best vantage points above Crosshaven village, just off the Camden Road.

The owners are trading down to a smaller house after 32 years in situ: estate agent Roy Dennehy of Carrigaline guides the big, well-built house at €1.4 million. It has features ahead of its time, such as concrete floors at first-floor level, but it is the views from the elevated setting that will appeal to buyers, particularly from the boating fraternity.
