About this property

Brian Gleeson Property are delighted to present 'Captain's Quaters', this charming and historic home in South Abbey, Youghal, Co. Cork. Built circa 1873, this End-of-terrace home was formerly used as a coastguard dwelling. The property retains a wealth of character and charisma, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of local history. The ground floor features a light-filled living room, sitting room and kitchen. Upstairs, there are four generously sized bedrooms and a main bathroom. The basement features a spacious bedroom, two versatile storage rooms and a large boiler room. The residence offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern convenience. Located just a stone’s throw from a secluded sandy strand and only a 10-minute walk from the Front Strand, Youghal’s Blue Flag beach which features Ireland’s renowned longest boardwalk, this property also benefits from close proximity to the newly opened Youghal Greenway. It offers more than just a home, it offers a lifestyle. The home is conveniently located just five minutes from the N25, with both Cork and Waterford less than an hour away, making it ideal for commuters. Youghal is also perfectly situated, under 30 minutes from the vibrant towns of Midleton and Dungarvan, providing excellent commuting options. A picturesque and historic town, Youghal offers a wealth of amenities, including renowned schools, various supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, pubs, a golf course, and beautiful walking trails and beaches. The Coastguard station was built in 1873 and was fully occupied by 1875. It consisted of six two-storey dwellings for ratings and a three-storey dwelling for the officer in charge, together with a boathouse, workshops and launching slipway. The coast guard was created in 1822 by the amalgamation, under the Board of Customs of the Customs Service and the Preventative Water guard. The function of the Water Guard was the prevention of smuggling and the provision of assistance to ships wrecked on the coast. In 1831, the administration of Coastguard was transferred to the Royal Navy and in 1850 it came under the direct control of Admiralty. This exceptional property is a rare find, perfect for those seeking a home with a rich history, ample space and a chance to watch mesmerising sun sets with views of the sea from the comfort of your own home. Don’t miss the chance to make this unique and character-filled residence your own. Brian Gleeson Property highly recommends viewing to fully appreciate all that this magnificent home has to offer.
