44 Richmond Hill, Cork City, Co. Cork

‘Unique Opportunity’

Convenient, central, secure, private, quiet and elevated – it can justify the phrase
Location, location, location with great ease. It lies at the city end of Richmond Hill and is only 4 minutes walk to Patrick’s Bridge.

A traditional stone built cottage which is open plan extended out the back with a generous size bedroom and a storage room. The upper level of the extension opens onto its own private deck and into the garden, where there are breathtaking views of the City. This light filled space is divided into 2 rooms and a bathroom.

DESCRIPTION: Unusually, we are offering two distinct spaces for sale, as one unit. To the front lies an elevated and west facing stone built cottage and garden, which we believe dates from 1870 to 1880. The original cottage is now one large open-plan space with a single storey and modern extension, with split level located above it. Both the cottage and cedar clad extension have been thoughtfully and imaginatively designed and finished to a high standard. The overall ambiance is comfortable, creative and oozing with character. The new addition is particularly light filled and we are advised that both are cost effective, in running and outlay. The large rear garden includes a patio that leads to a substantial ‘sky deck’ giving spectacular City views, which will never disappoint.

NOTE: This will ideally suit a purchaser with specific needs, it is not a family home however it could be connected and made into one if required. It could suit siblings or friends planning to co-own or someone with adult children or dependent.

NOTE 2: The new construct is a timber frame with high performance hemp insulation. 95% of the windows are double glazed.

NOTE 3: Front and rear garden, front and rear accommodation lending itself to privacy and co-living.
