Harbour town is at your feet at lofty Dromderrig

Despite a guide of €2.25m, this trophy property in Kinsale is well-placed to draw international interest, Tommy Barker reports

Harbour town is at your feet at lofty Dromderrig

AFTER a period in the price doldrums, Kinsale seems to be back in a position it occupied, ever before the boom, as having some of Munster’s most expensive properties.

It had a clatter of successful sale over and under the €1 million mark in 2012 — tops in 2012 was about €1.7m for a waterfront Georgian home. And, it certainly had more big-ticket sales than its entitlement in percentage terms of housing stock, with a half a dozen or so in the €750,000-€1m bracket; that’s quite possibly down to the fact (like, say, Kenmare, or Killaloe) Kinsale has such an international appeal to relocators, as well as a location less than a half an hour from Cork’s international airport — a point appreciated by pilots and flight crew who also choose to live by the town.
