1 Golden Grove, Douglas Road, Cork

Sherry FitzGerald are delighted to present 1 Golden Grove, an exquisite Victorian semi-detached home with a fabulous location on the Douglas Road. The property has been extended and refurbished by the current owners over the years, the result of all this hard work and creativity is a tremendously inviting and character filled family home.

Mercifully this property survived the 70's intact and many original features can be still seen throughout. Amongst these you will be please to see the original tile floor and staircase in the hallway, the original fireplace in the drawing room and decorative plasterwork throughout most of the living area and bedrooms.

Accommodation is over three floors with your drawing room, kitchen/dining room, garden room and bathroom located on the ground floor. The five or six bedrooms (depending how you use them) are dispersed over the first and second floors. All can comfortably accommodate a double bed and most have fitted wardrobes and storage of some description.

The property has a surprisingly private garden which faces west and is lush with all manner of mature planting and hedges. The garden room sits on the western side of the house, and as the name suggests, overlooks the rear gardens. This is a beautifully bright room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed stone feature wall, solid oak floors and superb joinery. A room that could grace the cover of a home and interiors magazine quite comfortably.

To the front of the property you have a large driveway with planted border features on both sides. The original boundary walls are still in place and at over 10 feet high, afford huge privacy.

Homes of this calibre, history and pleasing appearance are a rare commodity indeed. Add to this the fact that the house is midway between the City Centre and Douglas Village (within walking distance of both) and you will understand why this will be one of the most sought after houses to come to market for some time.
