Water, water everywhere and every drop is yours to admire at this lofty Monkstown address. Built in 1979, No 19 Diamond Hill is a four-bed detached home with panoramic views of Cork harbour.

Expansive windows turn the shifting tides, morning light, and evening harbour glow into dynamic, living artwork in the living room and two of the bedrooms. There’s also a balcony right outside the timber-ceilinged living room which has a fitted stove. The C-rated property just a kilometre from cafes, gastropubs and bars of Monkstown, has been a family home for decades and is on the market for €595k now as an executor sale.

“It has a very handy garage, a back garden, and is only a short walk from Monkstown village, with the tennis and golf clubs nearby too,” notes agent Brian Olden of Cohalan Downing.

This house is so far attracting interest from families living in the area keen to trade up to a substantial home as well as people from across Cork with “a love of watching sea traffic”, says Mr Olden.

VERDICT: New owners will likely sort the energy rating (C) and make decor updates but those views make any effort more than worth it.
