Description
The Anchor is an exceptional detached family residence with a detached double garage, occupying an elevated site of approximately circa 0.25 acres. The property commands uninterrupted panoramic view across Sandycove bay, Sandycove island and the Preghane point on Castlepark peninsula, enjoying one of Kinsale's most spectacular coastal setting.
Beautifully presented and meticulously maintained throughout, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both natural light and the magnificent maritime outlook. Quality finishes include engineered oak flooring, expansive picture windows that perfectly frame the ever changing seascape, a bespoke solid cherry wood kitchen with granite worktops and centre island, and well appointed bathroom suites. Many of the principal rooms enjoy breathtaking coastal views, creating a wonderful sense of tranquility and connection with its natural scenic surrounding landscape. This home was constructed in 1982 by the highly regarded local builder Joe Neville & Sons.
The accommodation is centred around an impressive reception hall featuring a striking open tread staircase. The elegant dual aspect living room is flooded with natural light and opens directly onto a sun drenched south facing patio, an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. Glazed double doors lead through to the dining room, which connects seamlessly to the kitchen via a feature archway, creating an excellent flow between the principal living spaces.
The ground floor accommodation further comprises three generous double bedrooms, including a superb principal suite complete with walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en suite shower room. A well-appointed family bathroom and fully fitted utility room complete the accommodation at this level.
At first floor level there is a further spacious double bedroom, a shower room and a versatile additional room currently configured as a dressing room, offering excellent flexibility for use as a home office, study or hobby room.
Approached through electronic entrance gates, visitors are immediately welcomed by a distinctive anchor mounted on a limestone plinth, setting the tone for this unique coastal home. A sweeping driveway leads to a generous parking area and detached double garage, providing ample space for vehicles, boat storage or workshop use.
The grounds have been carefully landscaped to complement the property's exceptional setting and are predominantly laid out in lawn with a variety of mature shrubs and trees. Limestone pathways extend around the perimeter of the house, leading to an attractive rear rockery garden adorned with colourful roses. The expansive south-facing patio enjoys all day sunshine and provides the perfect vantage point from which to savour the spectacular sunsets over Sandycove Island while entertaining family and friends.
The Anchors is located just a short stroll from Sandycove, a peaceful and highly sought after coastal enclave only five minutes from Kinsale. Nestled within a sheltered bay protected by Sandycove Island, the area is renowned for its safe swimming waters, sailing, kayaking and boating opportunities. The sandy shoreline and island provide a wonderful natural amenity, while the surrounding coastline offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.
Local educational facilities are well catered for, with a school bus service to the nearby village of Ballinspittle and Kinsale Community School, which enjoys an excellent reputation. The renowned Bandon Grammar School is also within easy reach and offers a boarding option.
Kinsale, one of Ireland's most celebrated harbour towns, is steeped in history and character, with landmarks including Charles Fort, James Fort and St Multose Church. The town is internationally renowned for its vibrant culinary scene, bustling marina, yacht clubs and colourful streetscape, all of which contribute to its reputation as one of Ireland's premier lifestyle destinations. Golf enthusiasts are particularly well served, with both Kinsale Golf Club at Farrangalway and the world-famous Old Head Golf Links within easy driving distance.
Cork City, Ireland's second-largest city, is approximately 35 km away and provides a wealth of commercial, educational and cultural amenities, together with an international airport, mainline rail services and major port facilities.
