House of the week: Rochestown, Cork €450,000
Set to downsize — again — are the owners of Beechmount House, a seven-year old Rochestown home with high quality interiors, and top-notch views. A very comfortable house, with rooms over three levels, it’s adaptable for those who want a bit of privacy and distance among the generations, be they noisy teenagers, grandparents or others.
On a sloping site on Coach Hill in Cork’s Rochestown, this 2,000 sq ft home has views over the Mahon/Douglas estuary to Mahon Point where, since the area’s rapid commercialisation with offices, “it looks like New York at night with lights all twinkling,” according to Beechmount’s inhabitants.
