History respected with this revamp

The renovation and refurbishment of this property has been lauded. Tommy Barker reports

THERE’S both history and property pedigree in 4 Hollymount House, a three-bed home of style which was carved out of a portion of a large, 19th century Georgian house and one-time home to a city sheriff, as well as a titled lady artist, above the Lee Road in Cork.

Home now to an architect and to an artist, plus a daughter, No 4 (at the eastern end of the original Hollymount House, with more of the house pictured above) was ‘sale agreed’ almost two years ago but got tangled up in a legal hitch which saw the process drawn out, and eventually collapsing.
