Property Description

BARRY AUCTIONEERS & VALUERS are thrilled to bring this truly remarkable property to the market in the much sought after area known as Summercove, Kinsale.

While this c. 1400 sq ft. property would normally be described as a dormer bungalow, it is just so much more than that. As you make your way in from the driveway you are greeted to the front by a welcoming porch with a timber façade. This is where you take off your wellington boots or sandals, depending on what type of a day the Lord above deems to be perfect for that moment in time.

On entering the hallway, a double bedroom adorns each side, ideal for visitors or family alike. Take another few steps along the timber floors and you reach a utility room, steel sink (ideal for washing off sea spray after a dinghy ride in the ocean), full of storage and hanging spaces for wetsuits and dry robes.

Opposite the utility is the sitting room, underfoot are timber floors which are warmed by the combi stove in winter months and are cooled down by opening double doors to the veranda in the summer. Did I mention the 2 windows that gaze with amazement at the wonders of the sea lying beyond. These uninterrupted views will undoubtedly be on every visitors' tongue as they depart this incredible property, hoping to be invited back.

Next up is the kitchen, dining room and pantry. The cupboards and island units are made from brick, and all door openings have arced tops, are made of timber, and painted ivory white. Do we have an Aga cooker? Absolutely and we also have another John Lewis x6 ring gas hob… Why? As it catered for parties and soirees in years gone by, & as this house exudes a party atmosphere & I’ve no doubt there are many more parties on the horizon. While on the party theme, did you know that the Bullman Bar & Restaurant is no further than a "paper aeroplane's" throw away (this has to sound closer than a stone's throw, because it certainly is). Is this where you'd have your "prinks", or would you simply go there after a BBQ on the upper deck of this Dormer? While on the subject of decks, how does one get there? Via the main bedroom which has it's own balcony looking west towards the setting sun or via the green (steel) stairs. A word of warning if I may, at the bottom of these stairs, lie a collection of wave canoes, which the new owner may just move to the jetty below, or if the jetty has a larger vessel moored, you just might dispense with your wave boards. Did I mentioned the rocks below make a great diving board at full tide? This property just has it all.

The main bedroom has wooden floors, built in wardrobes and an ensuite. The views are incredible to say the least and are already the envy of the departing owner, who is re-sizing.

I can talk to you about fridges, freezers, couches and architraves, but in the end it’s the location and the views that make this property a one of a kind. Seeing is believing, so book a viewing now by calling Barry Auctioneers & Valuers at 021 427 9677.
