Waterfront living opposite Sheen Falls

Panoramic Kenmare Bay views | Turnkey B3 Rated home | c.132 sq m gross / c.1,400 sq ft gross| 3 double bedrooms | Walk to Kenmare

A Rare Kenmare Combination

Occupying an exceptional waterside setting overlooking Kenmare Bay and directly opposite the renowned Sheen Falls Estate, this extensively renovated three-bedroom home combines panoramic water and mountain views, refined contemporary interiors and the rare convenience of being within an easy walk of Kenmare town.

Extensively upgraded in 2025 and now achieving a B3 BER, this 132 sqm/1400 sq ft semi-detached residence has been designed around its remarkable setting. Water and mountain views are enjoyed throughout the house - from the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space to the principal and guest bedrooms - while a south-facing landscaped garden and expansive terrace create an exceptional outdoor living space overlooking the bay.

The combination is difficult to replicate in Kenmare: panoramic views, turnkey condition, excellent energy performance and low-maintenance living, approximately 1.3km from the town centre, restaurants, shops, services and golf club via illuminated footpaths.

The Residence

The residence has undergone a comprehensive programme of upgrades and modernisation focused on energy efficiency, durability and refined contemporary living. Significant investment has been made in high-performance glazing, insulation, heating systems, kitchen and utility spaces, bathrooms, interior finishes and landscaping. The result is a highly efficient, low-maintenance home that can be occupied immediately. Natural light and the panoramic setting inform the house throughout. The principal rooms have been arranged and finished to maximise the relationship with the bay, mountains and woodland beyond, while the elevated terraces extend the living space outdoors.

A bright entrance hall with wood-effect laminate flooring, under-stairs storage and smart electric radiator leads to the principal ground-floor accommodation. The guest WC is fitted with contemporary wall-hung storage, LED mirror and smart electric towel rail.

Open-Plan Kitchen, Dining & Living A spacious, bright triple-aspect room with water views from every window forms the heart of the house. Wood-effect laminate flooring runs throughout, with an 8kW wood-burning stove anchoring the living area and French doors opening onto the terrace overlooking Kenmare Bay.

The contemporary Nolte kitchen features pale oak cabinetry, a generous island with induction hob and integrated extractor, Cosentino stone worktops, Neff stainless-steel double ovens, integrated full-height larder fridge and dishwasher, and a Quooker tap providing instant boiling and filtered water.
