Escape stamp duty with this seaside holiday home

COMING in at or just under the €317,500, 3% stamp duty threshold is this four-bedroom seaside semi-detached home in Fenit, Co Kerry.

Part of the Lighthouse scheme ( of modern homes used mostly as a second/holiday home), with views over Barrow Harbour, it is close to beaches, a marina, shops and other amenities.

Sarah Benner of Savills Hamilton Osborne King says it is in very good order, and can be bought with furnishings as well, taking to take the hassle out of a second home buy in time for the summer holidays.

No 37 has a floor area of a surprising 1,600 sq ft, with good size windows and views through them.

There’s oil-fired central heating, a kitchen/dining room with patio access, utility, living room with bay window, shower room, bedroom with bay window, three other bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom with Jacuzzi bath.

There are gardens front and back, and a steel shed for storing beach and boat gear.
