Plenty clifftop charm and great potential at Ballycotton coastal gem

A three-bedroom bungalow in Ballycotton, Ireland, is currently on the market, offering coastal views and potential for development. The property features a large garden and a history of extensions, attracting interest from both local and regional buyers.
Why it matters
It highlights the ongoing demand for coastal real estate in Ireland and the potential for property development in scenic rural areas.
Even the name evokes images of hazy summer days and beach treats — and Cotton Rock at The Cliffs in Ballycotton is supremely well placed for both.
This three-bedroom bungalow is the last house on a laneway just after the Mary Stanford lifeboat on the way up to the gorgeous Ballycotton Cliffs walk.
It’s elevated, south-facing, and it’s on 0.6-acre gardens.
The current owners cleverly installed a long glasshouse against an old stone boundary wall which offered great thermal mass to give a heat boost to tomatoes and salad leaves. To add to the rustic charm, they also kept hens here too.
