Description

Sherry FitzGerald are delighted to offer "Atherstone" a superb detached family residence of 3,400 sq ft situated on magnificent mature gardens with a perfect south and west facing aspect that offers total tranquility and privacy yet located just minutes from Bishopstown, Wilton and Cork city. Situated on Spur Hill, this home is within 5 minutes of the south ring road and 10 minutes to all hospitals and colleges. This splendid home was designed by Architect Bertie Pope, and built to an exceptional standard in 1991. Both builder and architect showed great attention to detail with planning and construction which is evident from the handmade butterly brick and interior design layout. This property is light filled and captures the sun throughout the day. This residence offers the perfect balance of accommodation making it a very comfortable family home with the reception rooms interconnecting allowing easy circulation for entertaining. Atherstone has been lovingly maintained by its owners and boasts five double bedrooms (two ensuite), all with quality built-in wardrobes, four large reception rooms and a kitchen / breakfast room with solid Oak units and granite worktops with a patio door leading directly onto the manicured south and west facing gardens and terrace. All rooms have 9'5ft ceilings (with the exception of the drawing room which is 11'5ft) with elegant cornicing. Stepping inside Atherstone, one is immediately struck by the splendid curved reception hall and feeling of space which sets the tone for this beautiful home. The gardens were designed by the late landscape artist Brian Cross and are truly a pleasure with a sweeping treelined drive, rolling lawns, beds of rhododendrons, azaeleas, camellias, hydrangeas and sunny patio areas, feature pond and fountain and a wooded area of traditional Irish trees. Garden: Positioned on a private south and west aspect site access is through electronic gates with a sweeping tree lined drive and rolling lawns leading to an extensive parking area able to take 8 cars and provide a play area for children with a 500 sq ft detached double garage set to one side. The main gardens enjoy an uninterrupted west facing aspect with lawns and separate stepped garden enclosed by a beech hedge descending to a feature pond and fountain .
