Cottage delight on one third of an acre

CLOSE to the Blackwater bridge on the edge of Youghal, but with a Kinsalebeg, Waterford address, is this three-bedroomed semi-detached cottage, with water views.

Agents Noel Mackey have just reduced the price of the 900 sq ft Shanacoole home with good gardens and aspect to €185,000, say there’s direct access to the harbour’s waters for those into boats or canoes (as the vendors are), and great beaches are nearby at Whiting Bay and Ardmore.

Currently a family home, with evidence inside and out of kids’ play spaces and on a site of one third of an acre, the house has a floored attic with stair access to what could be a fourth bedroom with roof light.

Other than that, there are two other bedrooms, plus two reception rooms, one of which can be an optional bedroom, a kitchenette and a bathroom with shower. Location is on a slip road, just off the N25 Cork-Waterford road.
