House of the Week

Our pick of this week’s property offerings

THIEF! Thief outside! shouted an elderly relative when she retired for the night to an upstairs bedroom at this Kinsale home. But, what she thought was a burglar wielding a torch outside her windows was none other than the reassuring sweep and beam of light of the Old Head of Kinsale lighthouse, off in the distance. Relief, all around.

It’s a story recalled now that the owners of this one-off, top quality Kinsale area home comes up for sale for its international owners, as they prepare to downsize to a brand new, smaller home just a little bit lower on this elevated perch at Clonleigh, near Summercove.
