Dormer done to high standard

Castlegregory, Kerry €300,000

IT’S just a five minute walk to the sandy beach at Aughacasla, near glorious Castlegregory on the Dingle peninsula, outside Tralee from this smart home.

A favourite family holiday destination for decades, and getting new wind in its sails with watersports aficionados in more recent times, Castlegregory’s got that lovely touch of wilderness, with beach expanses, Lough Gill nearby, and woods to explore, along the peninsula’s long stretch.

Now, looking like it gets shelter enough for gardens to bloom is this Aughacasla dormer home, for sale with a €300,000 asking price via Tralee agents Norths.

With views to the Slieve Mish mountains, this is a dormer done to a high standard, near the narrowing sandy spur to Fahamore point beyond the village.

It has two of its four bedrooms at ground level and has partial underfloor heating, with a solid fuel stove in the main living room, and a smart kitchen with oak units.

There’s a ground floor shower room, and two more beds plus bathroom upstairs.

It’s got cobble lock paths and patio outside, and the three-quarters of an acre has good planting and landscaping, with raised herb beds.

VERDICT: Equally perfect for full-time occupancy as for holiday use.
