11 Beachside Mews, Riverchapel, Co Wexford

This two-bedroom end-of-terrace home in Riverchapel, five minutes from the popular seaside village of Courtown, has arrived on the market in Co Wexford. The property is on the smaller side at 75sq m (807 sq ft) but is in turnkey condition with a C Ber rating.

It benefits from a lovely, decked terrace to the front of the home with overhead beams, perfect for hanging swings from.

Inside, there is a small sittingroom and a kitchen/livingroom on the ground floor; the kitchen splashback is quite busy and swapping them for a subway tile would be an easy way to make it look more modern. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a good size with a modern en suite and a balcony. The second bedroom is a small double under a dormer roof and a shower room completes the first floor.

This property is now on the market through REA Halnon Humphreys, seeking €180,000.
