site at World's End, Kinsale

We are proud to launch to the market this exceptional site at World's End overlooking the harbour at the edge of Kinsale town. This is an area which has been undergoing a regeneration over the last few years with the modernisation of traditional cottages, renovation of derelict buildings and vacant sites being developed into residential properties. It's location just a few minutes waterside walk from the centre of town is ideal for those wishing to be in the heart of the vibrant community of Kinsale and all it has on offer yet slightly outside the busier streets, with views and off-street parking for two cars.

Award winning architect Ryan W Kennihan of Ryan W Kennihan Architects in Dublin were appointed the brief of designing and achieving planning permission for the site which was granted in March 2026 and is sympathetic to the history of the area, as outlined in his design statement: "draws inspiration from the traditional townhouses that characterise Kinsale's historic streets, while adopting a contemporary approach, the design pays homage to the vernacular architecture through the use of simple, clean lines, vertically proportioned windows and a restrained material palette that reflects the textures and tones found in nearby heritage buildings". The design also considers overlooking onto neighbouring properties to preserve privacy for all.

The finished house for which PP has been granted, has a generous floor area of 338 sq m and includes a 2-car garage, entrance hall, utility and guest wc on the ground floor, three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the middle floor and a spectacular open plan kitchen / livingroom with balcony to the front and patio to the rear and an east-west orientation ensuring full light from sunrise to sunset. The living space being located on the third floor results in it enjoying comanding views over the property across the street which is currently being redeveloped, Ferryview House. Steps will lead from the west facing patio terrace to the garden at an upper level and a home office in the corner of the garden.

World's End coming to the market represents one of the last remaining opportunities to develop a bespoke property with a most sought-after World's End address.
