​It may not be as famous as the Costa del Sol or the French Riviera, but with its 5km long sandy beach stretching along the border between Sligo and Killala Bay in North Mayo, on a warm summer’s day Enniscrone could easily outmatch many of Europe’s celebrated seaside resorts.

Spanning 2,077 sq ft, it opens into a curved entrance hall leading on to four double bedrooms (two en suite and one with a walk-in wardrobe) and a bathroom. A bespoke spiral staircase leads up to a luxurious living area that’s like something from New York’s Hamptons.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and Velux windows flood this curved space with light while providing eye-watering maritime vistas at every angle.

Also at this level are a kitchen, utility, two dining rooms and a bathroom. A wraparound terrace from the living area and another balcony off the main bedroom are well placed to soak up those sea views.
