Incomplete harbour house ready for sale
About 16 houses sites comprise the Ard Cuain development, up above Passage West at Marmullane by the old orphanage, and the builder of No 9 has previously finished off a neighbouring house here.
However, he is looking to sell No 9 “in need of completion”. It has a €750,000 asking price via agent Conor Smith of ERA Downey McCarthy Murphy, who estimates that there’s another €100,000 to see it through to a uniform high standard.
The five-bed, four ensuite 2,850 sq ft home is on a quarter acre site with elevated Cork harbour views, a further 2,000 sq ft of patio area and outside finishes which include cedar cladding, stone and pressed metal over the porch.
Its current layout allows for two ground floor bedrooms — one ensuite, the other with patio garden access — all three first floor bedrooms have their own bathrooms, and the master bedroom also has a dressing room. There’s a balcony off one of the bedrooms. Living space encompasses lounge, dining area, kitchen, utility, store and living rom with bay window, plus guest loo.
Designed for underfloor gas heating, it is currently at plastering level, and will need tiling, kitchen, decoration and other spending.
Meanwhile, for those prepared to commute to the Midleton area, the same ERA Downey McCarthy Murphy agent has a five-bed detached dormer at Ballincurrig, Leamlara, carrying a €530,000-plus guide. It was built in 2001, and has 2,500 sq ft of space on a three-quarter acre site.
