Stunning views of the bay come free with spacious stone-fronted cottage
However, Bayview Cottage is priced at €590,000 – roughly twice the price of the snapped up Damson Cottage which sold for over its €295,000 asking price, likely to have exceeded the €300,000 mark.
Damson Cottage got a full page editorial splash here in early April. “We thought we’d have to set up camp with the response, especially over the Easter weekend,” said selling agent Catherine O’Donoghue of O’Donoghue Properties of the pretty three-bed re-built house at Kells Bay, now heading into new hands.
Now, in the same area, a high quality modern build with great elevated sea and Dingle Bay views is on offer, with Engel & Volkers, an international selling chain with a vibrant office in Kinsale, Co Cork.
Bayview Cottage, outside Glenbeigh and between Killorglin and Cahirciveen, is on a sloped site of 0.6 of an acre, and is stone-faced to blend it into its rugged setting.
It has over 1,700 sq ft of space, and two of its three bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, while its outside raised decking/balcony area is almost another room, albeit a fairly exposed one.
Other rooms include a large living room, a dining area over two levels with fireplace, a fitted high-quality kitchen with cream units and granite tops, main bathroom and a large sunroom, positioned for views.
It is the views that underpin the value, most likely; that and the location near all the services of Glenbeigh, as well as the six-mile-long Rossbeigh beach, holder of a Blue Flag for quality.
Nadja Franke of Engel & Volkers says the location is great for those into the great outdoors, with golf course, the Kerry Way walking route, sailing, canoeing, fishing or cycling.
The 0.6 acre of grounds is landscaped with rockeries with storage shed for gardening and other gear.
