Property Description

‘A period gem in a most private & wooded oasis’

Site Area: 1/4 of an acre approx.

LOCATION: At the upper end of Richmond Hill, just above the City Centre in a most private, secluded and elevated setting. While the property is central, it is tucked away in a tranquil haven. The views are captivating, with numerous vantage points to enjoy the historic ambiance of old Cork and beyond.

DESCRIPTION: This most unique detached home was originally constructed in 1860, the date marked on a key stone over the garden gate. Originally built as a cottage in the Victorian era, a second floor was added in the 1950’s, to this light filled and south facing home. Its character is emphasised by the usage and placement of, sympathetically stylish furniture, dcor and fittings. A number of improvements were carried out by its present and long-term owner, with attention to the period details of the cottage. These include a new roof (2008), double glazed timber windows, the installation of gas fired central heating, and a cast iron Charnwood stove. A lot of care and thought has been devoted to the internal layout and decorative finish. The property will be of particular interest to those who value the merits attached to living in such a peaceful and landscaped environ. The privacy, security, central location and spectacular grounds justify the use of the much- maligned term, unique. Externally the property is stately, belying its comfortable and comparatively compact floor area of some 1060 sq. ft. The high ceilings, the large windows, elevated position, all combine to give the ambiance of a larger property.

Note: This property will ideally suit a couple who are downsizing or nest building.
