All shipshape and Bristol fashion at Sydenham Terrace

Tommy Barker says elegant harbour house has views to die for.

ALL “shipshape and Bristol fashion” is this Cork harbour home, neatly trimmed for sale.

The owners of 5, Sydenham Terrace in Monkstown are sea-faring types, you can surmise, not only from the decor with its marine prints, paintings and tomes, but also from its many polished brasses and fine-fettle timbers: it is in rude health, for a home which dates to the 1830s, built for British naval officers.
