Fine Georgian, long in one family, in Cork’s elevated Montenotte district

FOR more than half of its 180 years, Mount William has been in the same family’s ownership — but now, reluctantly, comes the time to sell.

The detached, Georgian city home is in the heart of Cork’s Montenotte, in a grand stand position, looking up and down the Lee Valley, and westwards to the city.

Mount William was built in 1832 by William O’Connor, and, in 1922, was bought by jeweller Englebert Burkley, who’d taken over Hilser’s jewellers on South Main Street in the early 1900s.
