Boat slip a useful extra for niche development of dormer homes

DIRECT access to the sea via a boat slip being provided as part of a niche upmarket house scheme gives Pebble Beach a selling edge.

The Rushbrook development of just six big dormer homes built by Kumry Construction is by the water’s edge on Great Island, and construction is just being finished out so buyers can see the standard of workmanship for themselves.

Despite the setting just a mile from Cobh, the immediate feeling here is of trees and water, and Cork harbour beyond is one of the world’s great natural harbours, with sailing clubs aplenty and a number of new marinas due to be added to the existing stock as boat and sailing activity takes off further.
