16 Sidney Place, Wellington Road, St. Lukes, Co. Cork, T23X29H

Áine McLoughlin of AML Property Services and Michael McKenna of McKenna Auctioneers are delighted to jointly present No. 16 Sidney Place, Wellington Road, Cork City to the market. Dating from circa the 1820s, this three bedroom period property is packed with character and history and presents a wonderful opportunity for a purchaser looking to restore a unique home in the heart of Cork City. Sidney Place is ideally positioned on historic Wellington Road, just a stone’s throw from the rejuvenated MacCurtain Street and the ever popular St. Luke’s area. Some of Cork’s best known cafés, restaurants, bars and independent businesses are within walking distance, while Kent Train Station and the bus station are approximately a six minute walk away. Cork City Centre is also easily accessible on foot, making this an exceptionally convenient location for city living. The property is believed to have been originally constructed during the 1820s, when Thompson’s Bakery would have been a major landmark and employer in the area. It is likely that the houses at Sidney Place were originally constructed as homes for artisan workers, giving the terrace an interesting connection to Cork’s industrial and social history. No. 16 is set back from Wellington Road with a private terrace to the front, while to the rear is a surprisingly spacious garden, a particularly attractive feature for such a central city location. On street parking is available along Wellington Road. Internally, the property offers generous and versatile accommodation arranged over four floors, including a basement level. While the house is now in need of refurbishment and modernisation, many of its period features remain. For the right purchaser, this is an exciting opportunity to breathe new life into a historic Cork home while creating something very special. The ground floor comprises a kitchen, dining room, storage room, utility and hallway. On the first floor is a living room and bathroom. The second floor accommodates two bedrooms, while the third floor contains a further bedroom. There is an additional bathroom at basement level. With three bedrooms, accommodation extending over four levels, a generous rear garden and a superb location between MacCurtain Street and St. Luke’s, No. 16 offers enormous potential. It could make a particularly special city home for a purchaser with an appreciation for period properties and a vision for renovation. Services: Mains water and sewerage.
