Soak up the harbour views from the comfort of your outdoor hot tub

EAST Ferry is one of the most scenic areas of Cork’s lower harbour and also one of its most desirable residential locations.
Soak up the harbour views from the comfort of your outdoor hot tub

Water and woodland views, without the sight of the heavy industries in the rest of the harbour, make this area a haven of tranquility. It's just a short drive to Midleton and has an excellent road connection to Cork city, so it's ideal for commuters.

A chance to buy into this area has arisen with John Hornibrook of Sherry FitzGerald O'Donovan, who are selling a 2,000 sq ft property at Rathcoursey, East Ferry.

Al Dar is a large, mansard-type property, on a high, mature site of half an acre giving it incomparable views made the most of with three separate patio areas.

The best view is probably that from a wooden deck with reaches out over the garden and has a five-person hot tub in situ.

Inside, the house is in terrific condition, says John Hornibrook, and it comes with three/four bedrooms and a range of spacious living rooms.

These includes a lounge of 14' by 20' with bay window and sliding doors to one of the patios. The family room also has patio doors and has direct access to the guest bathroom, which means it could be used as a bedroom at any stage. The kitchen/dining room is fully fitted in oak and comes with a working island unit and quarry tiled floor.

The landing on the upper floor doubles as a study and comes with Shaker built-in units and has phone and power points. This leads onto three bedrooms and the master has built-in units, a walk-in wardrobe and two bay windows: it's also en suite.

Bedrooms two and three are good doubles, and one has limed oak wardrobes. They share a main bathroom which comes with a feature, stained glass window.

And last of all is the double garage of 20' by 20' which could be converted, says Mr Hornibrook.

Gas fired heating is installed, as are PVC windows and the garden also comes with outdoor lighting.

Sherry FitzGerald O'Donovan are inviting offers in the region of €550,000 for Al Dar, Rathcoursey.
