Bird’s eye perch is a harbour delight

WILMOUNT Terrace in Cobh has a crow’s nest perch above Cork harbour - and that’s perhaps part of the reason why the daughter of a long-serving Cork harbour pilot lived at this address for many years.

Patricia O’Sullivan, daughter of well-known retired harbour pilot ‘Harmer’ Walsh, is now selling up her bird’s eye panorama perch.

No 3, Wilmount Terrace, a sizeable enough mid-terraced house is in fine fettle after a full building overhaul and carries a €350,000 price guide. “It’s like being on top of the world, the views are breathtaking, right around from Aghadha directly south to the mouth of the harbour and to Roches Point and back up the river again,” says selling agent Liz Hannon of Englishs in Cobh.
