Perfect homecoming retreat

WHEN you buy a 150-year-old period house you know you’ve got work ahead of you – unless someone has been there and done it all before you.

Perfect homecoming retreat

That’s the fortunate case with Riverbank House, in Cork harbour’s Glenbrook, which was taken by the scruff of the neck 11 years ago when it last changed hands – and more than gently remoulded.

The detached 2,700sq ft, three-storey and five/six bed Victorian home, is on a high, stepped terrace above the road leading from Rochestown, via Passage West to Monkstown and has a nicely elevated perch above shipping traffic and the Cobh train across the water.
