A rare opportunity to acquire a unique property in this much sought-after location. Exceptional views over the natural harbour and entrance to Kinsale, within walking distance of Kinsale’s vibrant Town Centre. Constructed in the 1950’s 9 Father McSweeney Terrace is one of 14 semi-detached houses perched high on the hillside in Ardbrack overlooking the southern approaches to Kinsale Harbour. Nearly all these south-facing properties have been extended, upgraded and improved over the years to capitalise on the breathtaking elevated views over Kinsale’s picturesque harbour, looking towards the town, the marina, and the forts. In 2016 the house was extended and totally modernised to an exceptional standard with generously proportioned accommodation designed to capitalise on the truly outstanding panoramic views, stretching from the inner harbour and town of Kinsale over to the famous James Fort, across the estuary then down the approaches to Charles Fort, both of which protected Kinsale during the Williamite Wars in Ireland from March 1689 to October 1691. The Setting Kinsale was originally a medieval fishing port and is known far and wide for its natural beauty and rich history. Kinsale, from the Irish Ceann tSaile – “Head of the Sea”.

The town is a cacophony of brightly coloured buildings, an outstanding harbour, and is much influenced by its mediaeval history. Apart from the architecture and harbour, Kinsale is a vibrant, thriving town, also internationally known as the “Gourmet Capital of Ireland”, with numerous cafes, public houses and restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets. Leisure activities are well catered for, Kinsale provides excellent sailing, yachting and fishing facilities from its two marinas. There are two world-class golf courses, including the renowned Old Head of Kinsale.

There are numerous cultural events held throughout the year, such as the world-famous Kinsale Arts Festival, the Cork Jazz Festival, the Cork Film Festival, Kinsale Gourmet Festival.
