Description
Barrys Auctioneers present this centrally located, mid-terrace house in the coastal town of Youghal. This well-presented Georgian house provides an opportunity to acquire a piece of Youghal's history in the form of a 3 storey residence. It has lots of original period features such as functioning wooden shutters on the upper floors, original doors throughout, 6 working fireplaces and high ceilings with original cornicing. It is very unusual to have such well-preserved original aspects in a house of that era.
It has a long open garden to the front which benefits from the sun throughout the day and has the original wrought iron gates and railings. The planting to the front provides privacy and is a perfect opportunity for keen gardeners despite being low maintenance. The French doors from the dining room lead to an enclosed, private courtyard to the rear with two original sheds. It is ideal for outdoor dining and barbeques as well as the practical storage benefits.
There is work/upgrading to be done to bring this house back to its former glory despite being in very good condition and the price reflects that. The property will also be suitable for grant applications to upgrade the heating to a more modern system including solar panels, and other grants provided by the SEAI home improvement grants. It is however already a comfortable home and so upgrading can be done over time. The current layout with two living rooms makes it perfect for entertaining.
Apart from a number of beaches and the much loved Youghal boardwalk, it has the cinema (soon to be re-purposed), cafés, local shops and farmers’ markets within minutes of your front door. On-street parking with a residents’ permit on application is available and there is a regular bus service in the directions of Cork, Ardmore and Dungarvan which pass by your door. It is the perfect gateway to Ireland’s Ancient East.
This is an ideal home for those with an appreciation for historical architecture with all of the benefits of a seaside town within easy reach of the city.
