Charming Victorian Beach Front Lodge
Kilkee Heritage Group describes the Victorian town of Kilkee situated on the wild Atlantic way on the west coast of Co. Clare as a seaside resort, which was most popular in the 19th centrury. It was considered the leading resort in Ireland at the time. The first map of the town dated 1840 shows that there were 240 houses in the town. In 1842 Hugh Hogan’s map clearly identifies the houses or lodges in Victoria Place or as it is called today Victoria Terrace. While the number of dwellings in the town has greatly increased since then, Victoria Terrace looks very much as it did when first built and the property at 3 Victoria Terrace, which is now on the market, still retains its Victorian features.
These original features include a pilaster door case with a square over-door window, canted bay windows, high ceilings and Victorian fireplaces. At the end of the long hallway is the kitchen with the original corner units and stairs. This beach front lodge is deceptive having a recessed rear with a long back garden, back entrance and private off-street parking. Spectacular views of Georges Head and Chimney Bay in the East End can be seen from the front garden, with the beach and shops on the doorstep. The location of this lodge would be hard to surpass.
