#WATERFRONT PROPERTY - A six-bedroom period house with superb south-facing views over Cork Harbour is now on the market for €550,000.

Whitegate House dates from the late 18th century and comes complete with a stone yard and outbuildings, a basement, around three acres of woodland and its own private pier.

The original property was built before 1780 and embellished over the years, and now presents a pleasant four-bay house with bright and spacious accommodation.

In recent years the house has benefited from substantial structural renovations and is now presented in a comfortable condition throughout.

The property has elegant formal reception rooms comprising a drawing room and sitting room to the front and a fine dining room to the rear.

A comfortable modern kitchen with all mod cons has a door to a rear hallway leading to the basement which features a laundry room, utility room and guest toilet.

Upstairs there are six bedrooms, some with original fireplaces, as well as a toilet and bathroom.

Viewing of Whitegate House is strictly by appointment only with Hegarty Properies. Full details of the property are available HERE.

About J/80 Sailing

Easy to handle the J/80 is said to be less intimidating, safer and better suited for sailing offshore than other modern sport boats. 

It even has a full-length V-berth and 12-foot-long cockpit.

Thanks to its combination of stability, speed, durability, low maintenance and age-friendly deck layout, the J/80 has proved to be a great club boat around Irish yacht clubs with fleets popular in Dublin on both sides of the Bay at Howth and Dun Laoghaire. 

The key to a racing keelboat is that it holds the attention and interest of many types of sailors, young and old.  The J80 does it all, with thrilling 15-knot rides under spinnaker or relaxed sunset cruises with mainsail only. 

The Irish J/80 Class Association was formed in 2017 to represent owners, sailors, associated clubs and to help develop J/80 racing in Ireland.
