Sea view bungalow

IDEAL for retirees, and within a walk of the sea and beach at Claycastle in Youghal, east Cork, is No 10 Ballyclamasey – a one-off house, despite its having a number in lieu of a name.

Set at least 100’ above sea level, and with a sweep of sea views from its this ship’s bridge-like deck, this three-bedroomed home has around 1,000 sq ft of space, on a sloping, landscaped south-facing site.

Auctioneer Mairead Keogh of Conn Keogh and Son raves about the setting, and says it is in one of the most sought-after areas above the strand. “Look up from the beach here at Claycastle, and it is looking right down at you,” she notes, pinning a €300,000 price to the elevated bungalow home.
