The Anchorage

Occupying
one of the finest waterfront settings in Ireland, The Anchorage is an
exceptional Georgian residence overlooking Kinsale Harbour. Extending to
approximately 217 sq m (2,335 sq ft), this beautifully restored period home
combines timeless architecture, outstanding craftsmanship and spectacular
harbour views to create a truly unique coastal residence.

Carefully
restored and upgraded over many years, the property retains its original
character while incorporating the quality and comfort expected of modern
living. Almost every principal room enjoys uninterrupted views across the
harbour, creating a remarkable connection with the water and an ever-changing
backdrop of sailing boats, sparkling waters and stunning sunsets.

The
accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise its setting. At
harbour level, a bespoke kitchen, dining room and harbour room flow seamlessly
together and open directly onto the waterfront terrace. These elegant living
spaces provide an exceptional environment for both everyday family life and
entertaining, with the harbour serving as a constant focal point.

A
few steps above, the formal drawing room offers a refined retreat, complete
with open fire and commanding harbour views. Adjacent to this, a library and
study, separated by pocket doors, provides a peaceful space for reading, work
or relaxation.

The
entire first floor is dedicated to an impressive principal suite, creating a
private sanctuary within the home. Comprising a spacious harbour-facing
bedroom, walk-in dressing room and beautifully appointed bathroom, the suite
enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across Kinsale Harbour.

Throughout
the residence, exceptional attention has been paid to quality and detail.
Features include restored teak windows with Fineo vacuum glazing, bespoke solid
ash cabinetry, walnut joinery, Italian marble flooring, black granite worktops,
oak flooring and underfloor heating. Every enhancement has been undertaken with
sensitivity to the property’s architectural heritage.

One
of The Anchorage’s most impressive features is its waterfront terrace,
extending to approximately 53 sq m (570 sq ft). Overlooking the harbour, this
outstanding outdoor space acts as a natural extension of the living
accommodation and provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining
or simply enjoying the ever-changing maritime scenery.

Situated
in the highly sought-after village of Summercove, the property enjoys immediate
access to many of Kinsale’s best-known attractions and amenities, including The
Bulman, Scilly Walk, Charles Fort, Lower Cove and Kinsale town centre. The
location offers the perfect balance between peaceful waterfront living and the
vibrant atmosphere of one of Ireland’s most desirable coastal towns.

A
separate garage and parking area extending to approximately 58 sq m (624 sq ft)
provides excellent flexibility and, subject to the necessary planning
permissions, offers potential for guest accommodation, a home office, studio or
additional living space.

The
Anchorage is a rare waterfront residence that successfully combines history,
privacy, craftsmanship and one of Ireland’s most spectacular harbour locations.
Offering an exceptional lifestyle in the heart of Kinsale, it represents a
unique opportunity to acquire a home of enduring quality in an unrivalled
coastal setting.

Kinsale
is renowned for its rich maritime heritage, award-winning restaurants and
vibrant harbour atmosphere. Located approximately 30 minutes from Cork City and

its distinctive coastal charm.
