Property for sale in Monkstown, Co. Cork

Ashleam (formerly Rookhurst) Monkstown is an unique country house built in the regency style (Circa 1815) on a wooded waterfront site, and all just under 10 miles from Cork City Centre. The main house has been lovingly maintained and used as a family home for many generations now, and is perched on a hillside facing Cork Harbour. It is set on 3 acres of land and includes a walled garden, fruit trees, wooded walks, extensive lawns and a large selection of specimen trees gathered by gentleman explorers that today may only be seen in the likes of Kew Gardens or Fota House. It is a classic and historic country house which has long been associated with the great and the good of Corks naval, military and business communities, at one point it was lived in by a Peer of The Realm. The house now awaits another chapter in its illustrious history. Its extensive and beautiful proportions are twinned with the best of modern design and engineering. It is very spacious with high ceilings both upstairs and down. It is flooded with light thanks to large windows in every room, many with dual aspect to make the most of the views and the light. The ground floor of the property consists of a large, family-friendly kitchen/breakfast room, a formal drawing room and dining room, an informal sitting room and a generous study. This floor also has a cloak room, a guest WC, a positively huge utility room/pantry and a 'back hallway'. Upstairs is equally as generous with five large double bedrooms, master en-suite and two further family bathrooms. The property also includes the impressively restored two bedroom gate lodge in the beautiful red brick of the period, which successfully brings back into use the residence once occupied by servants of the time, just one of the many historic features on the estate that date back to that genteel time. This could be let out as a long term letting, holiday home or used as a granny flat, accommodation for an au-pair or perhaps as a space for older teenagers to spread their wings. The real joy of owning this property lies not only in the beautifully presented, charming and authentic interiors but also in the extensive lawns and grounds. The house is reached from the Strand Road by a tree and flower lined avenue. The driveway sweeps up to the house, through the lawns which are home to many species of indigenous Irish wildlife. The lawns, walled garden, 'garden rooms' and outbuildings will take you back to times gone by. The peace and beauty offered by this character-filled home is second to none. If you are looking for the spaciousness of a private country estate but with a more manageable holding, then this is the property for you. All in all, this property is a rare gem indeed, it is graceful and elegant, some might say rather grand but at its heart it is a warm, inviting and truly delightful family home. Arrange a viewing and see for yourself what makes this property stand out from the rest.
