Trading Up: Tivoli, Cork €675,000

Sq m: 280 (3,000 sq ft)

There’s a whole lot of house here at Emalian, then there’s even more — an independent two-bed apartment is a bonus to what’s already a six-bed home.

This large, low-slung house with part two-storey section is on an elevated half acre site above Cork City’s eastern fringes, at Tivoli, and is guided at €675,000 by estate agent Robert O’Keeffe of Irish and European.

It’s south-facing, on sloping landscaped grounds with city and harbour views and is, says Mr O’Keeffe, a quality property, perfect for families.

There’s solid Junkers timber floors in the hall, in the main 26’ by 15 living/dining rooms, in the lounge, in the cloakroom and guest WC, and even in the kitchen, which has units in cherrywood.

Emalian’s ground floor also has three bedrooms, and two bath/shower rooms, and the upper level has three more beds plus bathroom.

There’s independent heating (oil) for the adjacent two-bedroomed granny flat, with its own entrance, large living room, and kitchen.

A number of the rooms in this brick-faced house open to the sweep of terraced patio for views.

VERDICT: Great aspect and size.
