2 Bellevue Drive, Frankfield, Cork City, Co. Cork, T12HT9F

Built in 1998 and occupied by the one owner is the impressive, 2 Bellevue Drive at Frankfield, Douglas. This home was well thought out at design stage with only one thing in mind â€" space. The owners kept a keen eye on the construction at the time and adapted the home to enhance many of its features. Ahead of their time when lots of rooms was the norm they put in extra-long heads over double doors so that an open plan layout could be created with ease should the need arise. This home boats an impressive 2,346 sq. ft. of space and gives a host of reception rooms at ground floor level. It has been constantly upgraded over the years and with interconnecting rooms many of their functions have changed as the family grew. This home is now too big for their needs and its time to downsize and give another growing family the opportunity to enjoy all that this home has to offer inside and out. No. 2 has an attractive and maintenance free elevation. The front has been treated to sister bay windows either side of the feature front door all set within red brick. A plaster band painted white sits on top of the red brick and defines the change in elevation from ground to first floor. The rest of the house is finished with dry dash for ease of maintenance. That feeling of space created by the owners is instantly felt once you step inside the front door. It is unusual to find a home with four fine spacious rooms as well as utility and guest WC at entry level. The entrance hall is particularly spacious and gives a hint of what is to come. It leads through to reception rooms with sister bay windows both left and right. The kitchen cum dining room is located at the back looking out on the south facing lawned and enclosed rear garden. The last reception room is also located to the rear and extensive glazing leads from it to a lovely patio ideal for long evenings sitting out and dining. The first floor of this home does not disappoint and again the attention to detail at construction stage is felt within the rooms. All bathrooms and en-suites have windows with natural ventilation and light, an unusual find these days brought about by clever design. The main bedroom is a fine double room with slide robes and its own en-suite. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are superb in size with fitted robes and share a Jack and Jill en-suite arrangement. Bedroom 4 at this level, another fine double, is supported by a large family bathroom. The attic at 2 Bellevue has been converted and is accessed by a full and proper staircase. The attic has tremendous head height with three Velux windows fitted which throws superb natural light and solar gain through to the floors below. This space is offered as additional and easy access storage. The property enjoys a C2 energy rating excellent for a property of its time and could be easily upgraded into the B's should the next purchaser wish to close the two fireplaces the owners currently enjoy. The gardens of this home are lovely. The front garden is enclosed with walls and piers and gives a fine driveway for parking. There is a lawned and enclosed garden here with planted shrubs around its border. This home has the benefit of side access each side of the home. To the right is a covered pathway to the rear of the property with privacy gate and gives space for bin storage an essential in any home. The left side of the house has a much wider side access and offers plenty of space for an additional garden shed should the need arise. The rear garden of this home is an all-day suntrap. Facing directly south the garden is arranged in different sections to give a super patio with raised red brick surround. A mature tree tucked into the corner gives shade for those days when it just too hot. The rest is given over to a wide lawn with centre path to access the garden shed to the rear. The location of the property is second to none with a host of primary schools on the doorstep to include Scoil Niocláis, St Columba's Girls and Boys, Gaelscoil Na Dúglaise, St Luke's School and South Lee Educate Together National School. Second level is catered for at Douglas Community School, Christ King and Regina Mundi College. Public Transport in the 206 Bus route stops directly outside the door and gives easy access to the city centre and all that it has to offer. This location allows for easy access to the south link road network or a country spin to the employment hubs at Cork Airport Business Park, Carrigaline, Kinsale and Ringaskiddy.
