The Moorings, Whitepoint Strand, Cobh, Co. Cork

Superb detached 5 bedroom, 2 storey residence on 0.4 acre, combining elegance with modernity in a delightful setting on the seashore, with uninterrupted harbour views. First impression is WOW, it absolutely is, the view is just spectacular, the location is ideal and the house is perfect. Whitepoint is a very sought-after area in Cobh and that is due mainly to its location within Cobh town, you are literally on the flat (Cobh as we know has plenty of hills). Your vista is of the marina in Cobh and the sailing club, Naval base and yes you can absolutely see the town itself and the cruise ships when they come in. There is even a playground a few minutes walk away and a coffee shop is literally a stone throw away. The town is within a 10 minute stroll by the water edge. Built in 1990 the property has a sweeping drive, walled in raised patio and a garden wrapping around the rest of the house. The grounds are laid out in mature trees with extensive planting of hedging affording privacy. Although only built in 1990, The Moorings was designed in the Victorian style and bears the appearance and character of a period property. When you walk into the entrance hall which is so bright and spacious, there is an overhead gallery which really adds to the whole feel of space within the home. In brief, as the virtual tour will really show you, when you enter the front door you have an outer hall with a cloakroom, then double doors to the spacious entrance hall which branches off to the various rooms downstairs; there are double doors leading to the large sitting room with an open fireplace and bay window, guest wc, study/den, kitchen/dining room with french doors leading to the patio area. Off the kitchen which needs some updating, is a utility room with access to the rear patio. Upstairs you have 5 bedrooms (4 doubles and 1 ensuite) and a main bathroom. The insulated, floored attic is enormous, measuring 600sq.ft and is easily convertible. The house has oil heating, open fireplace and double glazed windows. You could definitely move in and hang up your hat. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire such a property as once there, it is very hard to leave.
