Co Wexford: €430,000 One of the quaint timber chalets with large gardens at Tara Cove in Ballymoney is quoting €430,000 with Warren Estates.

Hillcot is at number 12 Tara Cove, a sought-after holiday home development with direct beach access.

This three-bedroom chalet is one of a group of 29 built about 40 years ago on quarter-acre plots, which are now nicely private and mature.

The address rarely comes up for sale and has gained in exclusivity over the years. Access is via security gates behind the Orphan Girl pub in Ballymoney.

The site is bounded by Seafield Golf and Country Club to the north and the Irish Sea to the east, creating a peaceful environment for owners. Hillcot sits on a raised garden with trees and shrubs creating a natural boundary.

Access to the beach is about 100 yards from the decked patio.

The accommodation is well suited to a holiday home, with a large open-plan dining/kitchen/living area and a sunroom.

Two of the larger bedrooms with wardrobes could just about fit a double bed and the third is a good single room.

There's also a shower room and storage in the basement.

The gardens are streets ahead of anything you will find in modern holiday home schemes - a quarter-acre of lawn edged with mature hedges, conifers and flowering shrubs.

A low wall enclosing the deck area is clad in evergreen Cotoneaster.
