Description
Nestled in the idyllic and much-desired village of Summercove, Marianville is a charming period cottage that perfectly marries timeless character with contemporary luxury. Just a two-minute stroll from the renowned Bulman Pub and the historic Charles Fort and an easy walk along the scenic Scilly Walk into picturesque Kinsale, this home offers the best of coastal living. From its elevated position, Marianville enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across Kinsale Harbour, Charles Fort and the Castlepark Peninsula - views that transform with the light of day and the rhythm of the tides.
The south-west facing property takes full advantage of its exceptional setting, offering sweeping sea vistas from both the living room and the front bedrooms. A large bay window in the living area invites to sit and enjoy the wonderful views. Thoughtfully and comprehensively renovated in recent years, it now combines period charm with modern comfort, including an efficient air-to-water heating system and a heat recovery ventilation system.
Spanning c. 140 sqm over two storeys, the home has been cleverly designed to make the most of its setting and the available space. The open-plan kitchen and living area occupy the first floor, creating a bright, spacious haven for relaxation and entertaining. Double-height ceilings with exposed beams lend a sense of volume and character, while a striking contemporary kitchen with granite worktops and premium appliances anchors the space in modern elegance. Adjacent to the living area are a cosy TV room and a quiet office, ideal for remote work or study. There is also a wc on this floor.
The ground floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which are en suite. Each bathroom has been recently upgraded, featuring sleek tiling, quality sanitary ware, and generous walk-in showers; one also offers a luxurious bathtub.
Marianville represents a rare opportunity to acquire a turn-key "lock-and-go" home in one of Kinsale's most desirable locations - a property that is as practical and low-maintenance as it is captivating. Whether as a year-round residence or a coastal retreat, this home delivers elegance, comfort, and an unrivalled connection to Kinsale's natural beauty.
Location
Located in the picturesque village of Summercove, this property offers the ideal blend of tranquillity and convenience. Just a short stroll from the charming seaside town of Kinsale and only a 25-minute drive from the cosmopolitan city of Cork, it provides an exceptional coastal lifestyle within easy reach of urban amenities. From your doorstep, you can meander along the scenic Scilly Walk into Kinsale town, following the curve of the harbour, or simply step out for a drink or dinner at the renowned Bulman Pub - just two minutes away.
This corner of South West Ireland is celebrated for its natural splendour - a landscape defined by dramatic coastlines, pristine coves, and fine beaches. Outdoor enthusiasts are spoilt for choice, with world-class sailing, yachting, and fishing available from Kinsale's two marinas. The area also boasts two exceptional golf courses, including the Old Head of Kinsale, one of the most spectacular links courses in the world. Whether your passion is walking, swimming, surfing, or horse riding, Kinsale and its surroundings offer an abundance of leisure opportunities in a setting of unrivalled beauty.
Cultural life here is equally vibrant. The region hosts an array of renowned festivals throughout the year, including the world-famous Kinsale Arts Festival, the Cork Jazz Festival, the Cork Film Festival, and the Kinsale Gourmet Festival. There is also a thriving calendar of live music, theatre, and opera in Cork city, with the Cork Opera House and several fine theatres showcasing outstanding performances year-round.
As Ireland's Gourmet Capital, Kinsale is home to an exceptional array of award-winning restaurants, boutique hotels, and warm, welcoming pubs - all contributing to the town's unmistakable charm and lively social scene.
