  1. 2 WEST VIEW, COBH, CO CORK

Delighted to bring No. 2 West View to the market – fondly known as the Deck of Cards and the most photographed street in Cobh.

No. 2 is a 4-bedroom terraced house with a small courtyard to the rear and on-street parking right in the hub of Cobh town.

The house needs upgrading and some works but not to complicated and one that could easily be done – works were started in a portion of the house and just need to be finished.

Features such as the oil heating tank and boiler are taking up too much room in the courtyard, hence gas heating would be ideal and there is gas right outside the door. All the windows are PVC double glazed. The house would qualify for some grants in order to improve its BER rate.

Ideal house as an investment as it was owner occupier and of course ideal for a family as there is plenty of space.

NO. 4 DOCK TERRACE, COBH, CO CORK

If you are looking for a conveniently located house, a doer upper, water view and in Cobh – No. 4 Dock Terrace is the house for you – ideal property for you to use your interior expertise. Plenty of scope within to create a modern house for todays living.

When you walk into No. 4 – its like going back in time – the busy carpet, tiles, fireplaces in all the rooms, scullery – so authenic but whats the real prize is the water view from the back and the use of the communal waterfront garden, there is also a common slip if you are into kayaking, boating etc – it’s a real gem.

Currently the house has a tiled entrance hall, 2 generous reception rooms, galley style kitchen and pantry, first floor has 3 bedrooms and a bathroom and the attic has 2 rooms.

What could you do – downstairs you could join up the kitchen/ pantry and one of the reception rooms ( I would try and get in a downstairs WC & WHB). First floor leave as it and the attic put into one big room.

The house needs work – everything – the roof isn’t leaking but again all this will have to be checked but it appears solid, dry and mainly – windows, electrics, plumbing as there isn’t heating. With the grants available today, there should be a few to avail of.

Definitely a house to view – ideal for the investor or indeed the speculative buyer.

The Hollies, High Road, Cobh, Co Cork – P24 WD98

Walking up the sweeping drive of The Hollies is like looking at a house back in the time in fact back to the 1860’s to be exact – majestic, original, big, stately, charismatic, and just beautiful. Loving old houses as I do, The Hollies did not disappoint, with its stately laid out front garden in tiers with stately steps as you would see in manor residence, views of the Harbour, Ireland’s only Naval Base, renowned Tourist attraction Spike Island and of course eye catching views of the liners when they are in, it ticks all the boxes.

The Hollies was built in the 1860’s and was built for the Royal Navy – they always say the bigger the house the higher the Rank. The Hollies is on 3 floors all with live able accommodation. It is a 4/7-bedroom semi detached Victorian Residence with a driveway, garage, garden to the front and an elevated garden on two levels to the rear, you also have a proper back yard complete with outhouse where you even have access to spring water.

On approach to The Hollies, you are greeted by an imposing front door complete with Fanlight, to the left you have a Conservatory/garden room (this does need work) complete with original tiles. The porch again has original tiles with a double stain glass door leading to the generous entrance hall. Off the hall you have 2 well-portioned reception rooms with original fireplaces and interconnecting doors. Off one of the reception rooms is a pantry. Once back in the hall you have another pantry, kitchen complete with functioning AGA, back kitchen/utility room with access to the back courtyard.

As you go up the grand staircase you are greeted with this imposing original stain glass window (superb), on the return a WC & WHB, first floor – 4 bedrooms (2 to the front with the view and 2 the rear all with fireplaces) and a bathroom. Second floor – 3 big rooms.

Every single original feature is intact – cornicing, fireplaces, roses, stain glass windows, shutters all functioning) pitch pine floorboards and doors, terrazzo flooring – it really has it all.

A new roof was put on 10 years ago, the house is bone dry, no sign of damp, it’s a fine solid house – it is dated but that is the charm of it, it’s a blank canvas for someone – you could certainly live there whilst enjoyably renovating the house – your imagination could run wild. There is oil heating, and the AGA heats the hot water.

Location wise – a 10 minute walk to the train station, within walking distance of sailing club, tennis club, schools and town itself. Excellent location, in the heart of Rushbrook.

The Hollies is a home and has been since it was built and is now looking for someone to bring it back into the 20th century whilst retaining a piece of history.
