Number 57, Chandler’s Rest, in Cobh’s Rushbrooke Links, is a four-bed terraced home with harbour views at the rear and is named for the town’s shipping heritage.

Hence a Chandler’s Walk, Chandler’s Way, Chandler’s View, and Chandler’s Rest in Rushbrooke.

A full-width sitting room is just off the hall when you enter, but the main living areas are down a flight of steps at garden level. Here, the large kitchen/dining area has double doors opening out to the long back garden facing out towards Glenbrook/Passage West.

The property was rented, so the garden is basic, but could be a fun project for new owners.

Interest has mainly been from families, says agent Paul Fenton, of Sherry FitzGerald: “It has a very nice layout and a big kitchen and you’ve got lovely views out over the water.”

There is one bedroom on the middle, entry level, which could be a home office, and the other three are on the top floor. The main bedroom is at the back, so it has water views and an en-suite bathroom.

The Property Price Register shows a steady increase in prices at the Chandler development, from less than €100k a decade ago to €300k-plus in the past couple of years. No 57, which has private off-street parking, is €345k.

VERDICT: Train, cross-river ferry, Cobh Connect bus service — those who commute for a living have lots of choice.
