Go Forth and take a look at Cobh

YOU’ll know it when your ship comes in, at Fort Villas. This elevated residential ridge above Cobh spans all of the maritime traffic and sailing activity in Cork harbour, and with light and views in abundance.

A new market arrival is No 1 Fort Villas, an original style Victorian semi-detached house, dating to the mid 1800s with most, if not all, of its period trim intact.

It joins its neighbour No 4 on the sales list, as that house went up for sale this spring in a fully restored stated (done in the last four years). It guides at €795,000 with local agents English and Co.
