Description A Beautifully Restored Victorian Home with Harbour Views
This elegant Victorian residence has been lovingly restored over the past four years, blending timeless period features with modern comfort and thoughtful design. Spanning five bedrooms, this is a substantial family home that still feels welcoming and manageable for a couple.
Throughout the home, 10-foot ceilings and exquisite original cornicing create a wonderful sense of space and grandeur, while original wooden floors in the hallway, stairs, and landings add authentic character. The curving, restored staircase—truly a feature in itself—draws the eye upward through every floor.
The heart of the home is the bright open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, expertly reconfigured into the front rooms to create a light-filled space perfect for family life and entertaining. The snug to the rear is an inviting sanctuary, ideal for relaxing with a book or unwinding with a film.
A charming conservatory on the stair return opens to the garden, offering an inspiring study space or a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee in the sunshine.
Upstairs, the top floor features a newly created second bathroom that includes a freestanding bath, separate shower, and the original servant’s fireplace—a delightful historic discovery during renovation.
The home has been fully upgraded with new electrics, a new gas boiler, and an enhanced heating system. Thoughtful improvements include a discreet top-floor utility area and excellent insulation throughout, making the house exceptionally warm and energy-efficient.
Original fireplaces grace several rooms, and the reinstated window woodwork and functioning stove in the living room preserve the home’s cherished heritage. A separate pantry and under-stairs storage provide ample space for modern living.
Outside, the property enjoys a large private rear garden, a sunny courtyard, and shared access to beautifully maintained communal gardens at the front. Two sheds—one off the courtyard and one at the garden’s end—offer practical flexibility. The rear access is via a private, gated lane.
Perfectly positioned, this home is a short stroll from the town centre, train station, and the Cobh Connect bus stop right outside the gate. The harbour views and the distant sound of the cathedral bells create an idyllic setting for daily life.
Services: Gas central heating. BER Exempt and measures 2000sq.ft approx.
