Estuary view makes Gurteen in Rochestown a real one-off

Tommy Barker says this split level house is back on recovering market.

There’s a fair share of c €400/500k-plus properties in Cork’s Rochestown, many of them in upmarket estates, but the home Gurteen is more of a true one-off, with a split level architectural elan, albeit from decades ago.

The detached, 1,800 sq ft build on a one-third acre sloping site at Coach Hill was a corporate rental of late, and is being sold unfurnished by Barry Smith of James G Coughlan Associates, who has it under offer at the €495,000 guide price.
