Trading up: Weavers Point, Cork €395,000

Size: Sq m 168 (1,800 sq ft)

THERE were sails as far as the eye could see in the past week in front of this large, three-storey period family home at Cork’s Weavers Point — up for sale with the option of a boat mooring, plus a 38’ ocean-going Jeanneau yacht, if a buyer so wishes.

The biennial Irish sailing regatta Cork Week brought hundreds of sailors and assorted craft to Cork harbour Monday to Friday, with departures now today likely to see the last flotillas of competitors leaving Roches Point behind them, again in full view of this property called Beaumont.
