Description

“Glencar” is a stunning four/five-bedroom semi-detached family home, set within beautifully landscaped and private grounds in the highly sought-after and established area of Bishopstown, Cork. Built in 1949, this wonderful property has undergone a complete energy retrofit and now boasts an impressive A3 energy rating, with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency, comfort and modern living. The house is presented in excellent decorative condition throughout and is ready for its new owners to move in and make it their own. On entering the property, you are greeted by a bright and welcoming entrance hall, providing access to the well-proportioned ground-floor accommodation. The ground floor comprises a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining area leading into the living area at the south-facing rear of the property, overlooking the private, walled garden. The modern, custom-built kitchen features quartz worktops and is complemented by a conveniently located utility room, which also provides access to the side of the house. To the front of the ground floor is a second spacious living room overlooking the driveway. Adjacent to this is a room of similar proportions, currently used as a bedroom but equally suited to use as an additional living space. A shower room completes the ground-floor accommodation. Upstairs, a bright landing provides access to four well bedrooms and the main family bathroom. One of the bedrooms provides access to a substantial, partially floored attic via “”Stira” stairs, offering valuable additional storage space with potential for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions. Energy Efficiency & Features The house has been comprehensively upgraded with energy efficiency and modern comfort in mind. Features include: • Complete energy retrofit, achieving an impressive A3 energy rating • Air-to-water heat pump system with all-new radiators, allowing the home to operate without fossil fuels • PV solar panels generating electricity and exporting surplus power to the grid, currently providing an approximate benefit of €60 per month • Wrap-around insulation • All-new windows and external doors • Whole-house ventilation system providing continuous fresh-air circulation and helping to maintain a comfortable indoor environment • Electric vehicle charging point in the driveway • House alarm • Water pump in the utility room, providing a powerful shower • Constant hot water supply Outside The property is approached by a generous driveway providing comfortable parking for five cars. The original cast-iron entrance gates can also be refitted, although an additional section would be required to accommodate the widened driveway. The private south-facing rear garden is accessed through two internal doors and via a large, custom-made gate from the side of the property. When fully opened, the gate provides the option of additional parking to the rear of the house. The garden has been beautifully maintained and incorporates a manicured lawn and a very large patio area, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is also a concrete base measuring approximately 20 sq. m., providing an excellent opportunity for a future home office, studio or garden room. The garden is fully enclosed by a combination of walls and mature hedging, providing a high degree of privacy and making it particularly well suited to family life. Location The location is one of “Glencar’s” greatest assets. Situated in the heart of Bishopstown, the property is within easy walking distance of a host of major amenities while retaining the pleasant residential feel associated with this established part of Cork. The property is exceptionally well positioned for access to some of Cork’s leading educational, medical, retail and employment facilities: • MTU – approximately 8 minutes’ walk • CUH – approximately 13 minutes’ walk • Wilton Shopping Centre – approximately 13 minutes’ walk • UCC – approximately 35 minutes’ walk • Excellent primary and secondary schools – approximately 2–10 minutes walk Public transport is also excellent. The 208 bus to Cork city centre and the 219 to Mahon Point stop directly outside the property, while the 205 to Kent Station is approximately two minutes’ walk away. Cork Airport is approximately a 15-minute drive, and the planned Cork Luas line is expected to be located approximately five minutes’ walk from the property.
