A charming 3 bedroom, harbourfront home in a coveted Kinsale setting, where timeless style meets spectacular views, a home where charm lingers in every corner and the harbour feels close enough to touch.

Discover this gem in an idyllic corner of Kinsale, 5 Lobster Cottages offers a rare opportunity to own a home where the water is not just a view, but a tangible presence.
This beautifully appointed three-bedroom semi-detached residence enjoys a breathtaking outlook across the inner reaches of Kinsale Harbour, with Castlepark Marina and the historic headland of James Fort perfectly framed in the foreground. To the west, the serene waters of the Bandon River gracefully spill into the harbour beneath the gentle arch of Archdeacon Duggan Bridge, adding to an ever-changing waterscape where boats, tide, and light dance in quiet harmony. Number 5 is the closest to town of just five homes on this exceptional site.

Built in the 1990s in a traditional style, the house carries the look and charm of a time honoured dwelling, while offering the ease and comfort of modern living. It is a home that feels as though it has always belonged here, its paved footpath, slate roof and whitewashed walls in perfect harmony with the land around it.

Behind its classic facade lie bright, well-proportioned interiors spread over approximately 1,150 sq. ft. across two floors. Every room has been tastefully finished to reflect both character and comfort, with natural light pouring in and drawing the eye to the mesmerising harbour beyond. To the side, a sun-drenched, sheltered patio provides a peaceful place to unwind, just perfect for morning coffee or evening wine, while enjoying panoramic views that are nothing short of captivating. This is a home not only for living, but for lingering, a setting that feels both calm and alive.

Its location is as practical as it is picturesque. The town centre is a short, level stroll along the harbour wall, a walk so scenic it will feel all too brief. From here, it’s a leisurely walk to Kinsale beach across the bridge, or for the more adventurous, a short paddle across to Castlepark and the welcoming buzz of the Dock Bar. Garretstown Beach lies just 10km away, while Cork Airport is easily reached within 22km. Whether as a forever home or a coastal retreat, 5 Lobster Cottages offers something truly special, a place not just to live, but to feel. Here, charm, convenience and coastal beauty meet in perfect harmony, offering a front row seat to one of Ireland’s most picturesque harbours.
