Touch of new build on venerable old Kinsale address

There aren’t too many ‘new’ homes in an area as steeped in Kinsale town’s long history as St John’s Hill, but No 5 bucks the trend: it was built only about a quarter of a century ago.

Some of its neighbours on this hill stretch, in the historic town’s core by the Municipal Hall and old bowling green are proper Georgian period builds, dating to the mid 1700s, and some by the foot of the hill are slate-hung, with exquisite window details.
