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.
Monkstown, Co Cork – €445,000
If you’re looking for a property in the greater Cork area that’s close to the convenience of city life but offers a peaceful sea view from your doorstep, Minella could be for you. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom detached home on 3/4 of an acre is located within walking distance of Monkstown, a Cork city suburb.
Inside, you’ll find maple hardwood flooring in the living areas, and a pine-cabinet kitchen with tiled floors. One of the bathrooms has a soaking tub, and outdoors, there’s enough flat space for a small football pitch with a view out over the water.
Kinsale, Co Cork – €750,000
You’ll need a bit bigger budget for this home near Kinsale town centre, but it’ll get you even closer to the water – and you’ll have 2500 square feet of space and over an acre of land to spread out over. And that’s not to mention the hard tennis court on the property.
Built in the 1970s and architect designed, The Follies is a split level with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. While the property is in need of renovation, there’s no denying the views you’ll inherit with this gem of a spot.
