Dennehy Auctioneers are delighted to present this rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a truly special historic seafront property, superbly positioned on the edge of Kinsale’s picturesque Inner Harbour. Comprising a two story residence over a basement, together with a spacious attic offering excellent potential for additional accommodation, this unique property represents an outstanding opportunity for those seeking to create a distinctive home in one of Cork’s most sought after coastal locations. The property also benefits from an over water decking area (currently in need of repair) with existing derricks providing potential for the launching of a punt or direct access to one’s own boat, together with a lower level courtyard garden. While requiring substantial renovation, the property offers enormous potential to restore, reimagine and transform it into a wonderful residence, tailored entirely to one’s own style and vision. A further significant benefit is the separate mid terrace stone built garage, complete with loft, located across from the main property. The garage offers potential for the creation of terraced gardens to the rear or possible conversion to off road parking, adding further versatility and appeal to this exceptional property.

The property’s unrivalled position is undoubtedly its greatest asset. Enjoying uninterrupted panoramic views across Kinsale Marina and the Inner Harbour, the outlook takes in the historic landmarks of James Fort and Charles Fort, together with the ever changing spectacle of life on the water. From the gentle movement of boats on moorings and the marina together with interesting wildlife to the activity of the vibrant harbour, the setting provides a captivating backdrop throughout the day and night and across the seasons. The over water decking and waterfront position further enhance the exceptional lifestyle on offer, providing a unique connection with the harbour and the opportunity to enjoy the water directly from the property. Perfectly positioned for enjoying all that Kinsale has to offer, the renowned Spaniard Inn and Man Friday Restaurant are just a one minute stroll away, while the vibrant heart of Kinsale town centre is within an easy 10 minute walk. The location effortlessly combines the charm and character of historic Kinsale with the exceptional lifestyle associated with waterfront living.
