Fully realised four-bedroom home with intricate period features and a modern living hub
; the current owner has painstakingly restored the one-storey over basement property’s period features by hand over more than a decade. For example, he removed layers of paint from the intricate ceiling cornicing in the livingroom with a dental pick and recast the original ceiling rose in the hallway by hand using a silicone cast; this level of care and patience is evident throughout.
Another feature unique to the house is an old safe, complete with an ornate key. Now in the walk-in closet in the bedroom to the rear of the house, it is thought to have been installed by the watchmaker who occupied the property in the early 20th century, according to the 1901 census.Bright and contemporary Cork three-bed with verdant views for €695,000
The livingroom is to the right off the hall and features a substantial grey-marble fireplace and updated six-over-six double-glazed sash windows in the style of the original. It opens into the diningroom through original double doors. The Victorian aesthetic makes way for a more contemporary feel in a stunning modern sittingroom to the rear, which features a large picture window, rooflights occupying the entire ceiling and an exposed-brick feature wall.
The ground-floor level is reached by the original wooden stairs. The ground-floor entrance is to the front under a restored brick archway – the porch here can be used to store bikes and the like. A double bedroom looks out to the front of this floor with an en-suite shower room. Beyond that is a second generous double, also with its own en suite, which has French doors out to the rear patio.
