4 of a kind: Homes in idyllic seaside locations
From a bungalow in Donegal to a cliffside home in Cork.
BEAUTIFUL VIEWS, PEACEFUL walks in the sea air, the ability to go for a dip and be back at home within minutes… there’s no shortage to the benefits of living by the seaside.
This week we’re looking at four homes in seaside locations around the country – from a bungalow in Donegal to a cliff-side home in Cork.
Castletownbere, Co Cork – €230,000
Located in a quiet cul de sac, 32 Mariners View is perfectly positioned to enjoy views over Castletownbere Harbour. The three-bed property benefits from a large south-facing rear garden from which views of the harbour can be enjoyed. The accommodation is well-kept and comprises a sitting room, kitchen/dining room, three bathrooms and three bedrooms.
Louisburgh, Co Mayo – €320,000
A self-build property, this four-bed home is tucked away in the Mayo countryside and enjoys beautiful views across to the Mweelrea Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The accommodation could benefit from some additional finishes, but offers an airy and modern interior for buyers of all ages and stages of life. Louisburgh town is a handy five-minute drive away, while there are several beaches nearby.
Brinlack, Co Donegal – €194,950
Tucked away in the Donegal countryside, this three-bed bungalow has a warm and welcoming interior with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The accommodation includes a kitchen, living room, sunroom, utility room, three bedrooms, one bathroom and a spacious attic. It is well-maintained, but would truly impress with a few modern updates. The seaside is a 10-minute walk away.
Crosshaven, Co Cork – €595,000
Located on an elevated site at Weaver’s Point, Villafor boasts exceptional views over the entrance to Cork Harbour. The two-bed home is close enough to the coast that the sound of waves crashing can lull you to sleep each night, while a cliff walk at the bottom of the garden means you’ll never bore of your daily stroll. Originally built in 1981, the interior reflects the style of the time, but could easily be updated into a contemporary home.
