Glenbeigh, Lee Road, Sundays Well, Cork, T23V99W

Glenbeigh is an Edwardian-style residence, built circa 1907, and sits proudly within an elegant mid-terrace of three period homes. Its charming pebble-dash facade, accented with tiled detailing, immediately sets the tone. While some modernisation will be required, the property offers a rare chance to craft a truly exceptional home within walking distance of the city centre, enjoying an elevated outlook over the River Lee. Set on a raised site, accessed via steps through the front garden, which still retains its original iron railings and gate. A particularly noteworthy feature is the private garage built into the site at street level. Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a bright hallway. This leads to an inner hall with a curved staircase. To the left lies a generous living room with a bay window to the front. It opens through folding doors, complete with original stained glass, into a second reception room. Both spaces retain the original cornicing, skirting, architraves and floorboards. On the right of the hallway is the family room or potential dining room, also front-facing and complete with period joinery. A door connects this room to the kitchen, where a window overlooks the rear yard and the rising bank of greenery behind. Off the kitchen is a back hall with utility area, W.C., and access to the enclosed yard, parts of which feature attractive old red-brick walls. Upstairs, you are first met with two bathrooms and a hallway leading to the elevated rear garden. The first floor offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, each with an original cast-iron fireplace. The rear garden is set high above the house with mature trees framing wonderful views across the River Lee, offering huge potential for landscaping or outdoor living. The location is exceptional, just a short stroll from UCC, the Mardyke sports grounds, Fitzgerald’s Park, the Bon Secours and Mercy University Hospitals, and Cork city centre itself.
