This stunning Cobh home has hen run, and pigs, on the property sale menu, writes Tommy Barker

The sale of this home will be music to the ears of dozens of budding musicians — it is forming part of a very generous bequest that could be worth €2m, to the benefit of UCC students, and to UCC’s music department in particular. 

Tommy Barker reports on a superb family home which has road, rail and river access for commuting.

Originally a gated community catering for the Victorian elite, The Crescent in the harbour town of Cobh presents a rare opportunity with stunning views, says Tommy Barker.

You need do nothing bar move your family into Cobh’s No 2, Coolamber Avenue, as it’s already extended, has four bedrooms, has been wrapped in insulation and has new windows, bathrooms, kitchen, heating... the works, really.

There’s a suitably royal sound to the elevated Cobh town period home called Kingswell, built back in the days when Cobh was the British naval port Queenstown, and this sizeable semi-d is said to have had an identical match in Dublin’s Kingstown, now called Dún Laoghaire.

Renovating an old house takes a certain, insightful confidence. Go ‘period correct’ to the Imperial inch, and you can pickle the place in an uncomfortable aspic of pseudo-glamour.

 

 

There’s a sweep of estuary vista from the Great Island, Cork home called Woodside - it could as easily be called Waterview.

Terraced Cobh Victorian home has been comprehensively renovated Trish Dromey reports

Many guests have enjoyed the delights of Amberleigh. Now it could be your turn, writes Trish Dromey

THEY could build them large, and well, back in the 1850s — the Rushbrooke, Cobh home Rackheath House at 4, Beausite is testament to the talents of engineers and builders of that era.

CARRYING 160 years of Queenstown/Cobh history, the Convent of Mercy property in one of the very best viewing perches in Cork harbour has been put up publicly for sale.

DON’T spare the rod at Rock House — in fact, a fishing line out the window of this former granary building near Kinsale could well net a healthy dinner of mackerel, pollock or more.
