They’ve been building ‘em big in Cork’s Waterfall for quite a few decades now but, here’s one of the very biggest, the expansive, 5,725 sq ft Orchard Lane, a Georgian-style and top spec one-off on a deep two-acre site opposite the 2000s-delivered Heatherfield scheme.

A few of the larger homes in the John Fleming-developed 60+ Heatherfield and Earls Well schemes have topped €1m in recent years, but Orchard Lane will top them all, coming with a €1.575m AMV cited by agent Eileen Neville of Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty.

Her property offer is now 22 years old, having just ‘come of age’ and was built to a period home palette and outline, with things like a central bifurcated staircase in the large central hall with open gallery around, reception rooms have fine fireplaces with stoves (one sourced from a French chateau, note Lisney). The substantial kitchen has a large Aga and solid painted Shaker style units while, notably for a home of this size, the BER hits an enviable and impressive ‘A.’

Location is Ballymaw, Waterfall, 10 mins or less from Bishopstown, with the wider hinterland ringed by large one-off homes since the 1990s, many of them built by and for UCC, MTU and CUH folk and medics given proximity to Cork’s western suburbs. Set behind electric access gates and tall stone entrance pillars Orchard Lane has a deep site, all with mature hedge boundary, with farm land to one side and behind and a farmyard with residence and buildings on the other side. Build-wise, the home includes an attached double garage to the side/rear, has an entrance portico with fan light over the front door, has double aspect reception rooms left and right of the hall, there’s a third reception/family room too, a conservatory, home office, utility and garage access all at ground.

Above are five good bedrooms, three with en suites with showers, and large main family bathroom with roll-top bath, plus there’s a second pine stairs to a large second floor/attic, carpeted with several Velux windows, suitable for a wide range of uses.

Condition appears top notch, inside and out on groomed grounds and interest can be expected both locally from traders up , from the city’s larger employers including medics, and from those relocating back to Cork from overseas looking for a country lifestyle, without being remote.

VERDICT: Orchard Lane could be the apple of some buyer’s eye.
