Mock-Tudor home has harbour views

A ONE-OFF house in a mock-Tudor style at the edge of the Ard na Laoi development in Cork city’s Montenotte has a suitably lofty price tag of €610,000.

But, with its 3,000-plus sq ft of space, three of its five bedrooms en suite, and its general build quality, it will get trading-up buyers knocking at its door, reckons Diarmuid Dooley, of estate agents Dooley and Howard.

Seven serviced sites went on offer when McInerney’s started to develop the Ard na Laoi scheme over 10 years ago, and different interpretations of the detached des res were put in on these hillside sites above the Middle Glanmire Road.

This house, the largest of the bunch, is elevated, with harbour views from the front, well-shrubbed front gardens, drive and detached garage, a small low-maintenance paved and graveled back garden.

Spread over three floors, with impact from the entrance hallway with fake fireplace, through to the living room, dining room, study/ lounge, sun room which is off the 17’ by 12’ kitchen. The ground level includes a guest loo and utility room.

The next level has four bedrooms (three en suite) and the master bedroom has a Jacuzzi bath and shower. The second floor has a large main room, 21’ by 16’, plus a bathroom.

The well-kept home has gas central heating, and leaded style PVC double glazing.
