Glenbeigh, Lee Road, Victoria Cross, Co. Cork, T23V99W

Glenbeigh is a mid-terrace of three houses dating back to 1907 and boasts a beautiful pebble dash façade with tile detail and date plaque. While the house does require modernisation it offers a unique opportunity to create the most wonderful home within walking distance of the city centre overlooking the River Lee and just a stone’s throw from all the sporting facilities of the Mardyke, U.C.C., C.U.H. to mention just a few. The property is on a raised site with pedestrian access via steps through the front garden adorned with original ironwork railings and gate. A unique feature is the private garage set into the site at street level, an invaluable asset for city living. The house is entered via a hallway with beautiful Victorian coloured tiles, cornice and original architraves leading to an inner hall with a gently curved stairway with polished mahogany newel and handrail. To the left of the hallway is a large living room with bay window to the front which opens to the sitting room to the rear via folding doors with original art-deco stain glass, black slate fireplace with cast iron inset, original cornice, skirtings, architraves and floor boards. To the right of the hallway is the family room with large window to the front with original fireplace with tile inset, original cornice, skirtings, architraves and door linking to the kitchen to the rear with the original brick (now painted) chimney breast where a range would have once stood. The kitchen window overlooks the rear yard with rising ground covered in a cascade of greenery. Off the kitchen is a back hallway with utility and W.C. and access to the rear yard which features old red brick walls in places. Upstairs on the return are two bathrooms and the access to the rear raised garden, now over grown but with interesting planting visible which could be a unique feature of this home. On the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms all with original cast iron fireplaces. Buyers with an appreciation for historical details will be entranced by this house which ticks all the boxes for city living. Viewing highly recommended.
