1 Fort Villas, High Road, Cobh, Co. Cork, P24DH76

Such a beauty of a house, pretty, panoramic south facing harbour views, pristine condition, renovated sympathetically, nice size garden, driveway, within walking distance of the town centre, train and five foot way walk and more importantly a house with plenty of history – built in 1860 by an Admiral who actually built the four houses there – it has some amazing features of which are all intact. On approach the first impression is WOW – it is the view and the setting – it really tells the story of what Cobh has to offer – Period property, Harbour View – it is just stunning. One thing is for sure, you will never get bored of the view – you have the liners, sailing, commercial shipping – as I always say the harbour is a hive of activity during the day and lights up like a jewel box at nighttime, so it has it all. No. 1 Fort villas is a 4 bedroom/ 3 bathroom fully renovated 2 storey semidetached Victorian residence with a nice size garden, patio area, driveway, and space to rear which houses the outdoor outhouse. The house is very spacious, measuring 2300 Sq. Ft, it is BER exempt as it is a protected property. On approach you are greeted with a double front door – original tiled porch which in turn has the original door leading into the spacious entrance hall complete with parkette flooring, when in the entrance hall you have the feature of the staircase and stain glass window on the return of the stairs. From the entrance hall you have access to the two reception rooms, both with original fireplaces (one being a stove), shutters and wooden floors. Off the entrance hall you also have access to the pantry, small utility area and guest loo. From the dining room (one of the reception rooms) you go down a few steps to the fitted kitchen (Aga) which in turn has double doors to the rear of the property and access to the utility area etc. On the return of the stairs to the right you have a Jack and Gill bathroom (One that caters for the main bedroom – quirky). To the left you have the main bathroom, office, and bedroom up the stairs within the return. First floor – 3 bedrooms (2 double, 1 single) as mentioned one of the bedrooms has access to the Jack and Gill bathroom and the other has built in robes. The house was renovated over the last couple of years such as – new roof/ fascia soffits, new oil heating system, downstairs flooring has Kingspan insulation, the attic is insulated, front and west side of the house externally was replastered. Rewired, replumbed, new bathrooms etc. This is a fine example of a period property in Cobh and ones that are rare to appear on the market.
