4 of a kind: Coastal homes with sea views

From a renovated bungalow in Cork to a beautiful two-bed in Sligo.

WE ALL KNOW the feeling of peacefulness that comes from being beside the sea, but imagine the satisfaction of waking up to that feeling (and those views) every day. 

With breathtaking sea views, heaps of character and lots of space, one of these four properties might just be what you’re looking for.

Read on to see what’s on the market right now…

Skerries, Co Dublin

The Old Rectory is a Victorian residence once occupied by James Hans Hamilton, whom the Hamilton Monument in Skerries is named after. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the property is spread over three floors – one of which is at garden level – and enjoys stunning views of Shenick Island, Church Island and Rockabill Island.

There is direct pedestrian access to the sandy beach and picturesque coastline of Skerries from the rear garden. The large private side garden features a newly laid lawn and patio area. Throughout the property, there are high ceilings and cast iron fireplaces adding to its charming character. 

Make it yours for €1,075,000.
