4 of a kind: Seaside homes with breathtaking views

Fancy some fresh air? Try a three-bed in Dungarvan or a tranquil West Cork hideaway.

IF YOU’RE THE type of person that comes alive when you smell that brisk sea air, these four properties with sea views should interest you. 

The downside of a sea view is that it tends to come with a vastly inflated price tag, but luckily a few of these homes are downright affordable despite their location.

Whether you’re on the house hunt in Waterford, or the various corners of Cork, you’ll find a seaside home among these options…

Dungarvan, Co Waterford – €185,000

In the sunny southeast, you’ll find a three-bedroom, one-bathroom semi-detached cottage with views out over Dungarvan Bay. A local shop is just steps away, and the house enjoys close proximity to the local primary and secondary schools. Dungarvan itself is close by, offering restaurants, pubs, beaches, three golf courses, tennis, sailing, surfing, and the starting point for the renowned Waterford Greenway.

One of the bedrooms offers expansive sea views, and the patio gives the perfect opportunity for lunch with a view during the summer months.
