Surge of local interest as harbour view home woos potential buyers

RIGHT out by the ocean’s edge and the mouth of Cork Harbour at Weaver’s Point, this house is a new market arrival with a €800,000 price guide.....and a tail-wind of local interest.

Built just over 100 years ago, it is part-period style, part-farmhouse in looks, with an attractive corner bay window to catch the eye and views.

It is on half an acre of gardens, and may have some other building potential, and certainly extension scope as well.

Selling agent is Valerie Parkes of Hamilton Osborne King, who reports an initial surge of local interest in the 1,500 sq ft home.

Rooms include a good hall, a drawing room with high ceilings, a family room with similar elegant proportions and a corner bay window seat, and there’s archway access to the kitchen/dining room.

All of the four bedrooms are doubles, and there’s a family bathroom.

There’s a sheltered rear yard and a detached garage, which is two storey, measuring about 600 sq ft, and which could have conversion potential.

The house is one of the last along the line of homes at Weaver’s Point, reached just beyond Crosshaven.

The gardens run to about half an acre, with lawns, planting, flower beds, terraced dining area and drive, and there’s immense views out to sea and over to Roches Point.
