Beach views from outdoor hot tub in Youghal

A NEW-BUILD home in Youghal’s Ballyclamasey packs a lot of punch thanks to a dedicated builder who made sure the house and site came with added extras.

Strand View is at Summerdale Lawn, above the town with strand and island views, and is a four-bedroomed, split level home on the market with Sherry FitzGerald Hennessy with a €595,000 guide price.

It is on a sloping site, now extensively walled and fenced in, which slopes away from the house down towards the view, and a virtual forest of decking has been provided to bring users down in tiers.....tiers of contentedness, with a hot-tub placed beneath and included in the new-home sale.

The approach to what looks initially to be a bungalow is from above, via a brick-paved drive within a mixed-home development, and it is only as you get closer the true size of the house becomes apparent.

Pitched at those trading up and for owner occupation, but also possibly going to get some holiday home attention because of the beach-feel from all the decking, it comes with four bedrooms with one en suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe (two of the bedrooms in this upside down layout open to the deck), a 24’ by 11’ lounge with sliding patio door, a similar sized kitchen/dining room with built-ins in place and granite tops and appliances, utility, guest WC and main bathroom.

The hall floor is finished in marble, and other rooms have hardwood floors, with an overall light and airy feel.
