Cottage with harbour views has Kinsale on the doorstep

ALTHOUGH over 100 years old, the terraced cottage at Kinsale’s No 2, Ferryview, is more like a modern apartment: think sleek quality materials and finishes, and a modest amount of space.

But, you also get easy-keep living areas and a sort of lock-up and leave sort of property — all very Kinsale, where many of the market’s property owners are only occasional residents.

No 2 Ferryview is a former, renovated fisherman’s cottage, notes its selling agent Eamonn O’Neill, who now stresses the views it has over the inner harbour, to Castlepark Marina.
