Victorian dream home

ONE of a Victorian terrace of six houses, No 2 Sydenham Terrace is done up to the nines.

The fully restored and lushly decorated period property in Monkstown in Cork has a €750,000 price guide: move it to Monkstown in Dublin and a house with similar attributes would make double that sum, €1.5 to €2 million, according to agents Hamilton Osborne King.

Cork’s Monkstown is seven miles from the city centre and this harbour and hillside terrace is a few hundred yards from the sea at Sand Quay.
