A family home complete with stunning harbour views

THE arts festival might now have wrapped up in Kinsale, but there’s still some viewing pleasures to savour – such as the harbour views from Rossnakilly.

Up at the Summercove end of Ardbrack, above the road by the national school, this 1970s build home has a good 2,600 sq ft of space, more than enough for local families looking to trade up, or relocate to.

It manages to fit in six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two conservatories too, and is on a sloping one-third acre site with the best views from the upper level. Those views include the outer harbour, the craggy, sprawling outline of Charles Fort and undulating countryside.

Rossnakilly – which would have been a strong €1 million plus seller when the market was strong – is on the market with Kevin Kelleher of Keane Mahony Smith’s Kinsale offices, and he seeks offers around €985,0000 for the quality offering.

With a south-easterly aspect, its original portion dates to the ’70s, and it was extended again more recently, and has a largely open-plan main living space, with oil heating. Four of its six bedrooms are at ground level, and the conservatories are accessed off the kitchen, and the living room. Rossnakilly is near the local school, the Bullman bar, bathing coves, walks at Summercove, Scilly and Charles Fort, as well as near sports amenities.
