On the water’s edge, Sur la Mer’s ready to make splash on market

MAKING the absolute most of its site is Sur la Mer – the west Cork bungalow does exactly what it says on its nameplate.

On the water’s edge, the family home at Lathrathanavalley is five miles from Skibbereen, at Church Cross on the shoreline of Roaringwater Bay, and comes with 1,800 sq ft of space, on a mildly sloping site of 1.2 acres looking over the water and pier to the dusky pink/orange hue of Kilcoe Castle.

According to Maeve McCarthy of Charles P McCarthy auctioneers in Skibbereen, “the name Sur la Mer has never been more apt for a property where one can literally jump into the water from one’s own front garden.”
