Ticking lots of boxes for those on the hunt for a house of character is Delville, on the Golf Links Road, and with sea view glimpses into the bargain in East Cork’s beach-blessed Youghal.

Historic Youghal serves a catchment population of c 10,000, by the mouth of the River Blackwater, and the ocean, 50km from Cork City, by the border with Co Waterford.

The place offers great outdoor lifestyle options in a heritage town and port, with a range of schools, sport facilities, water sports and golf, just up along the Golf Links Road from Delville.

Dating to the early 1900s, Delville’s an upgraded, semi-detached three-bed period era home in a great Upper Stand part of Youghal, near schools, local facilities, scenic walks, and the 5km of beach… starting just two minutes’ walk away.

Local estate agent Noel Mackey of the Property Team network guides this immaculately-kept c1,200 sq ft home at €280,000, and says, “this is a great house for anybody wanting a family home in a quiet, safe residential area, only minutes from Youghal beach and so many other amenities.”

It’s an upgraded two-storey, three-bed home with interconnected ground floor reception rooms, front to back.

The living room in front has a newly installed solid fuel stove, inset into a period black cast iron fireplace and the connecting wall between the dining room has been opened up via a gentle arch to create a large open space, with onwards connecting French doors to the tidy, walled-in garden and bringing extra light into the property.

There’s a rear modern kitchen/diner too, with painted units, overlooking the back patio/yard.

The hall’s door is original with feature circular window on the top half, while internal doors are original, stripped pine for an attractive reminder of this home’s older roots.

Delville has oil central heating as well as its new stove, and windows are replacement pvc double glazing, with mid-section dividing bar to mimic the original sash window look.

Externally, there’s off-street parking for a couple of cars, with hedged front garden and a separate side entrance to the rear patio/yard.

VERDICT: Roll on summer days and beach walks
