Broga, Cappagh, Kinsale, Co. Cork, P17KP79

UNDER OFFER Rare opportunity to acquire this spectacular 1.2 acre site in a beautiful rural setting. Ideal for families, it nestles among rolling fields just a mile out of Kinsale town centre, 300m from Kinsale Gaelscoil primary school with attached preschool, and 30 minutes from Cork City. The glory of this site is its unique views of both river and sea, taking in a broad swathe of the majestic Bandon river estuary as well as the hills and Atlantic beyond. Set in the hedgerow of a quiet country road, the entrance driveway leads through spacious grounds at the front to a large four-bedroom bungalow (169 sq m) in need of complete refurbishment. At the rear, patio doors open from an open plan living room and dining room onto a wide, south-facing lawn elevated above the lower grounds to provide maximum enjoyment of those spectacular views. At the foot of the lawn an embankment descends to the lower field which sweeps down towards the river below. An intriguing feature is the ancient disused and overgrown laneway between old stone walls that runs along the western edge of the property. The site is positioned just within the boundary of Kinsale urban planning district, connected to mains water with a well-functioning septic tank. Ideal for redevelopment as a dream home, the split-level landscaping also offers great potential for construction of a second house on the lower part, consistent with development that has taken place on the adjoining properties.
