The Dell, Ashgrove, Ballymore, Cobh, Co Cork – P24DW32

Superb location, excellent views, tranquil surroundings and a great family home are just some of the thoughts that came to me when I visited The Dell for the first time. When I was sitting in the sunroom, I felt I was on the water, although it isn’t a waterfront property, it feels like it. Ashgrove is a special place in Cobh, waterviews, countryside and near all amenities, it really has it all. Houses very rarely come up for sale in the area as once there you are very slow to leave.

Joaney’s Garden, Compass Hill, Kinsale, Co Cork – P17E308

What a beautiful house perched up on the hill overlooking the bay in Kinsale, lavish garden, spectacular views, pretty landscape and of course the location is perfect – it really does have it all.

Joaneys Garden was built in 1992, very much taking inspiration from a Georgian Lodge – such a nicely proportioned 2 wing house, 2 storey house with a carport for two cars, private access and landscaped gardens. The patio wraps itself around the whole house and every room has access to the patio from upstairs.

The house is 2700sq.ft over two floors – how it is laid out is very clever in fact as it is a house that can grow with you throughout your stages in life.

Once in the front door you are greeted with an inner tiled entrance hall which in turn leads into the long oak panelled hall/ landing which in turn leads into all the rooms on that floor – master suite – bedroom. Ensuite, office, dressing room which in turn has access to the patio. Sitting room with a stove, wooden floors, 2 patio doors and the bay window to capture the spectacular view. Guest loo with WHB, dining room with an open fireplace and patio door to the patio, then through to the kitchen/ breakfast room/ sun room ( sitting room) with patio doors at either end and a bay window to take in the picture perfect garden.

Downstairs you have 3 bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is a guest suite complete with dressing room and ensuite, the other bedrooms have a jack and jill bathroom set up. Again all the rooms to the front have a sea view taking . You also have a sizeable laundry room.

Features include – New triple glazed windows and doors, oil central heating, stoves, oak flooring, the sitting room is 20ft *14ft, recently serviced septic tank and lovely interior.

As mentioned the house mimmicks a Georgian lodge and the interior taste to match. Elegance and flair with a difference are the words to capture the essence of the house. In actual the house is of typical Kinsale Architecture ( bow windows, real grey slate to the riverside) so its fits in so nicely.

I love how the house can grow with you and cater for a family or a couple. It is a nicely proportioned house in excellent condition.

Outside you have 2 outbuildings built under the drive and throughout the garden you have difference spots to capture the sun at different times of the day.

Beautiful house, minutes from Kinsale town by foot, super views and basically a great purchase in beautiful Kinsale.
