Period house has all the charm

This large Sunday’s Well terraced home has an authentic feel, says Tommy Barker.

FANCY a large, sunny, period home of size and charm, within a walk of Cork city centre, with car parking, at a starter home price? Step up, No 2 Landscape Terrace.

This double-fronted, slate-hung 1860’s home at the top of Wyse’s Hill in Cork’s Sunday’s Well is the real deal, with everything original intact. It’s got five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and large twin reception rooms (11ft high ceilings too) off the time-piece entrance hall with its dark Anaglypta wallpaper: the challenge will be to upgrade with respect for its age, and to boost insulation and comfort levels.
