At €495,000, Eltin's Wood is remarkably affordable for Kinsale

55 St Eltins, Kinsale

Relatively affordable for Kinsale, given it’s no stranger to multi-million euro house sales, No 55 Eltin’s Wood comes to market with a guide of €495,000. 

Extended by current owners who’ve had it since 2011, it’s a 115 sq m modern four-bed semi-d, upgraded with a stylish contemporary kitchen diner and a garden transformed by landscaping.

“This is a beautifully presented home in a family-friendly estate, within a convenient walking distance of shops, restaurants and schools in Kinsale town centre,” says auctioneer Gobnait O’Connell of Engel & Voelkers.

Built as a three-bed in the early 2000s, the biggest alteration was the construction of a rear extension with vaulted ceiling, two rooflights and a fully glazed back wall, with sliding doors to the back patio. The 40 sq m room is ideal for entertaining.

Some more reconfiguring took place at the side of the house, creating an ensuite bedroom and utility. 

The back garden is a stand-out feature: Outside the glazed kitchen wall there’s a paved area with a large pergola and a built-in barbecue. Raised beds and mature trees and plants add colour and texture.

VERDICT: Stylish and affordable in Kinsale terms.
