Description
Nestled in the heart of Summercove, one of Kinsale’s most sought-after coastal locations, this charming cottage offers a rare opportunity to secure a character-filled property just minutes from town. With its enviable location, sea glimpses, and endless potential, this home is equally suited as a holiday retreat or a permanent residence. Property Highlights: • Traditional cottage, full of original charm including half-door, open fireplace, and original windows with latches. • Spacious ground floor comprising communal living space, bathroom, and a versatile bedroom opening to the garden. • Upper floor with two double bedrooms and Velux windows, including a front-facing room with superb views towards the water. • Sunny garden with excellent orientation, perfect for outdoor living. • Just a 10-minute drive to Kinsale town, with The Bulman Pub and Charles Fort on your doorstep. Scope & Potential: While immediately habitable as a comfortable holiday home, the property offers tremendous scope for modernisation. An architect could unlock its full potential—whether by opening the front with floor-to-ceiling glazing to capture sea views, reconfiguring the interior, or extending into the garden. Location: Summercove is one of Kinsale’s most picturesque and historic neighbourhoods. Renowned for its stunning harbour views, waterside walks, and vibrant community spirit, it balances tranquillity with convenience. Kinsale town, with its award-winning restaurants, boutiques, and marina, is only minutes away. This cottage is truly a rare find—a character home in a coveted location with room to grow into something extraordinary.
