Sherry FitzGerald is pleased to present an exciting property - The Boat House, Scilly, Kinsale - to the local and international Market. Kinsale, historically an important seaport, is now a much-sought-after place to live, with its abundance of fine restaurants, quirky cafes, shops, and its vibrant cultural life.
