Make Drake's Point your 'Haven in Cork harbour homes release

Catherine Shanahan reports on the release of an additional six two-bed townhouses starting at €250,000

The scheme is named after British mariner Francis Drake who is believed to have taken refuge  from attack by the Spanish, upriver from Crosshaven at what is now known as Drake's Pool.

AFTER an 18-month hiatus — no thanks to the pandemic — Cork harbour’s new homes scheme, Drake’s Point in Crosshaven, is set to bring an additional half a dozen two-bed townhouses to market.

“They’re at a good price point, starting at €250,000, so great for first-time buyers (FTBs) who can avail of the help-to-buy-rebate of 10%,” says selling agents Paul Hannon and Paul O’Shea of Sherry FitzGerald.
