Property Description

Hegarty Properties are delighted to present this detached home at Lahard, Whitegate. A private and beautifully maintained residence set on generous grounds of approximately 0.96 acres, just a short drive from the coast and from the vibrant town of Midleton. Built in 1974 and cared for with pride throughout, the property is complemented by a suite of renewable energy features that help keep running costs down.
Perfectly positioned in the coastal townland of Lahard, the property enjoys countryside views and a setting that is second to none. Inch beach a sandy Green Coast strand and one of East Cork's best-loved surf spots is within walking distance, along with the cliff-top walk out to Power Head Lighthouse and the ever-popular Sweaty Sanctuary sea sauna down on the beach.
The surrounding villages offer a genuine, welcoming community. Whitegate and Aghada provide everyday amenities, with Corkbeg Coffee on Whitegate's pier serving specialty coffee and homemade treats beside panoramic views across Cork Harbour to Cobh, while the charming Poc ar Buile at nearby Ballinrostig is a traditional Irish pub famed for its roaring fires and lively trad music nights. A choice of primary schools is close at hand, making this an ideal setting for families.
For all its rural, seaside feel, the property is exceptionally well connected. The market town of Midleton with its supermarkets, restaurants, cafés is around 20 minutes' drive, while Cork city is approximately 35 minutes away. The Cork–Waterford N25 and Cork International Airport are both within easy reach for onward connections.
