Description

This architectural gem with unobscured views of the River Lee and the rowing Boats that pass by gracefully on the water, sits on approx. c. 0.25 acres of land. It has the benefit of a preservation order because it merits one. With a relatively modest budget and an eye for value, one can return this once magnificent property to its former glory. The view of the vendor is that the fire saved someone substantial money and time in gutting the property but fortunately leaving the structure in tact. The bridge servicing this property and 5 other properties which sweeps up to the building cost in the region of €12 million Euro to erect. The stone wall feature that graces the front of the dwelling is a feature of the landscape costing €100,000. In these days a quick turnaround on buildings, solid foundations and thick walls are rare. As the property is over 200 years old its purchaser will obviously be someone who values history and style. It is reported that Sarah Curran secretly stayed here with Robert Emmet, one wonders what other magnificent secrets the house has hidden. This was once one of the most beautiful houses in Cork City and deserves to be again. The house has 5 bays with a single storey crenellated, single storey former entrance bay to west and single storey screen to East, a hipped slate roof with coupled rendering, corbelled chimney stacks and cast iron gutters on overhanging eaves. There are square window openings with label moldings and limestone sills. Formally known as “Bellvue House” this historical building retains its symmetry and graceful proportions despite its derelict condition. “Bellvue House” as it was once known retains its classic Georgian features and dominates the landscape of the area (Ref. main record – Cork City).
