Atlantic views make it so easy to choose this coastal cracker

EXCEPT for the different view, it could be a case of Deja Vu for the residential agents in Lisney’s Cork offices, as they bring an unusual coastal offering to market.

Only last month, they sold an older style semi-detached on a large site with some re-development/second house potential, on the road into Crosshaven in Cork harbour. A local buyer paid about €475,000 for the property and an opportunity to build and maximise the attractive site’s potential.

Now, in a similar mix, Lisney have the sale of No. 1 Atlantic Villas, out in Ballinluska at Fennell’s Bay, beyond Crosshaven. It has more open, sweeping and bracing sea views given its setting outside the mouth of Cork harbour.

And, apart from the current three/four bedroomed semi detached property on the 0.53acre site, there’s the remnants of an older bungalow in the overgrown grounds.

As it hits the market, and with even more clear development potential for extension, renovation, up-grading or further dwelling, it is priced at €475,000 by Lisneys.

It may suit a builder, an end user, either an owner-occupier or a holiday maker.

And, given the long tradition of family holidays for Cork city families here, it may even suit a few family members who will club together to buy, with one doing up the semi and the other seeking to build a separate dwelling on the sizeable site.

“Further development potential exists for an additional dwelling, subject to the necessary planning permission,” say Lisneys, who add that it is only a few minutes’ walk from the sandy beach at Myrtleville. Accommodation in the semi includes hall, sitting room, family room, kitchen, ground floor optional bedroom four and three, and two overhead bedrooms.
