Occupying a corner site, the house makes a lovely first impression, with cobbled off-street parking to the front and a side gate providing access to the rear garden.
It's a particularly practical arrangement that gives the property a little extra breathing space.
Step inside and there's a welcoming entrance hallway, complete with laminate flooring and handy enclosed storage.
To the front of the house, a separate living room provides a cosy spot to put your feet up at the end of the day. Its dual-aspect windows bring in plenty of natural light, while the generous proportions can accommodate bigger sofas and L-shaped loungers.
But it's the large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that really gives this home its heart.
Stretching in an L-shape, this lovely bright space is where everyday life can unfold.
The kitchen is fitted with glossy café au lait-coloured units at floor and eye level, giving plenty of storage and workspace, while integrated appliances include an electric oven, ceramic hob, extractor, dishwasher and fridge freezer.
There's ample room for a dining table, and the vaulted ceiling above this area, together with the rooflight, adds a wonderful sense of light and space.
French doors open directly onto the rear garden, making it easy to enjoy the outdoor space during the warmer months or throw them open when friends and family come around.
A separate utility room is another welcome addition, with plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. There's also a guest WC on the ground floor.
Upstairs, the accommodation comprises three good-sized bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom has its own ensuite, complete with a corner shower and a fully tiled finish,
The family bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower, giving households a little extra flexibility during busy mornings.
With its separate living room, impressive open-plan family space, three bedrooms, private garden, corner position and A-rated energy efficiency, the house ticks plenty of boxes.
Combined with its excellent presentation throughout the thoughtfully arranged accommodation, it's a home that offers plenty of comfort without sacrificing practicality.
Outside, the rear garden offers a lovely spot to relax, with a patio area for outdoor dining, a lawn and a Barna-style shed for storing garden equipment and other bits and pieces.
And then there's Kinsale itself. The self-proclaimed gourmet capital of Ireland, it is one of Cork's best-loved coastal towns and is one of the starting points to the Wild Atlantic Way.
It has colourful streets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, a lively harbour and a marina. Whether it's a coffee and a wander around town, dinner with friends or a stroll along the waterfront, there's always something to enjoy. This is considered the gourmet capital of Ireland.
For anyone who loves the outdoors, the surrounding coastline offers beautiful walks and views, while the town's sailing and water-based activities add to its appeal. Having all of this within walking distance is a real bonus.
It's the sort of home that would suit a growing family, a couple looking for extra space, or anyone hoping to enjoy the best of Kinsale living without relying on the car for every trip into town.
