Cobh home is a winner
A Victorian semi-detached house, it taps into the Cork harbour town’s reputation for period architectural finery, even if it has had its windows replaced with Georgian effect PVC double glazing.
The large family-sized six bed house, on the market with Liz Hannon of English Auctioneers in Cobh with a price guide of €475,000, has been refurbished and has accommodation over three levels.
There are just four houses in all in Upper Park, which is five minutes walk above the town and set just above the Park. Upper Park has two sets of three-storey semis, and while a few have basements no 3 doesn’t. But what it has is an extra large garden, walled in behind, and possibly with some site potential, but the trade-off might be loss of amenity to the main residence.
Rooms include a ground floor drawing room 20’ by 14’ with high ceilings and black marble fireplace, a second reception room has a maple floor and fireplace, there’s a study, utility and kitchen and six bedrooms spread over the two upper floors.
The first floor return has a WC and laundry room, the main first floor bedroom has two south facing windows, and all six bedrooms are generous double sizes.
Both the first and second floor level have bathrooms.
No 3 has oil central heating, an enclosed yard, a garden of about a quarter of an acre, and there’s a communal green area in front.
