Harbour town property easily managed

THE steep town of Cobh has a wealth of period properties and a semi-detached, three-storey at number 2, Upper Park, is the latest Victorian creation to come on the market in the town.

And while it looks big from the outside, it’s actually an easily managed family home, says Joanna Murphy, who’s looking to sell this property for offers around €450,000.

In very good decorative condition, it’s a fine house and well worth viewing, she adds, with lots of living space and high views from its site at the top of town - the address might give that away.

Starting at the basement, No 2 has a sitting room, kitchen and boiler room and overhead are two, large reception rooms and a shower room.

The first floor has three bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, a hot press and main bathroom.

There’s a communal garden shared with the two other houses in this row and to the rear is a sun-trap courtyard.

Joanna Murphy and Son are the selling agents.
