Newpark home close to planned marina

NUMBER 5, Newpark in Cobh has an interesting history - even though it doesn't look it at first glance.

It started life as a fever hospital, then became part of an overflow barracks for the navy base and then the houses here became watch-keeper dwellings.

And, for its 21st century incarnation, number five is a three-bed, two-ensuite, modern home that's stylish, comfortable and a walk-in job. Auctioneer, Johanna Murphy is inviting offers in the region of €380,000 for this 1820's home which comes with two reception rooms, including a very modern, open-plan kitchen, a sitting room the three bedrooms, all with dressing rooms. There's a large raised deck to the rear with sweeping harbour views.
