Description

Welcome to Kimberley a detached family home sitting on an elevated site in Crosshaven with expansive views. Starting its life in 1899 and originally known as Coolbeg, this impressive detached family home was one of the first of three properties constructed on Camden Road. Built for the British army at the time they sought the best site with the most commanding views and Kimberly was given the site most forward of all of so that the rest of the houses on Camden Road are slightly set back allowing Kimberley to achieve a 180 degree vista. As a result when at this home inside or out you are treated to views that spread from Drakes Pool, over Currabinny, across to Cobh and out to Whitegate. On a fine day your eye is drawn from the Knockmealdown across to Galteemore and Galtee Beag. Given how splendid the site is the house does not disappoint. Having gone through a series of renovations and extensions over the years it now presents as an impressive 2,083 sq. ft. detached home along with a detached garage which extends to a further 200 sq. ft. In the current owners guardianship the property was extended first in 1988 at ground floor level with the upstairs enjoying its own new lease of life in the year 2000. The kitchen was treated to a splendid atrium roof window in 2008 which almost spans the entire room and floods it with light and sunshine. During these extensions the best of craftsmanship was used. The features of a property originally constructed in 1899 are in evidence still in this home and were added to by the use of elements taken with permission from The Grand Hotel in Crosshaven when it closed down. Colombian pine from Canada was chosen for the roof of the sunroom given its durability. At the time this home was given double frontage to the roadside and a detached home, separate to the detached garage alongside with and with a driveway beyond again gives an idea of its width. With pristine white wash walls interspersed with equally pristine saffron yellow trimmings and varnish woodwork with an incredible shine giving pops of colour to the external of this home, arriving at Kimberley is welcoming. It is up to individual tastes as to which side of the home you would call the front and which is the rear. When constructed the front door was to the sea but with today?s needs for convenience the current owners created a new entrance hall leading into the home. The accommodation now presents with entrance hall, open plan kitchen cum dining room with atrium ceiling, open plan lounge cum family room, extensive sun room, bathroom and back hall all at entry level. The first floor is home to three double bedrooms the master is a suite of its own with walk in dressing room. The first floor could easily be reconfigured should a discerning purchaser wish in order to create more bedrooms. The gardens surrounding Kimberley are lovely. Arriving outside you are met with a pedestrian path leading between the house and the garage and covered with trellis with climbing clematis waiting to burst open in colour shortly. Surrounding the house to the side and on the waterside is a patio ideal for sitting in any time of the day. Part of this patio is sheltered by the overhang of an extensive deck adjoining the house at first floor level. The gardens are laid to lawn in the main with mature hedging enclosing them on all sides. The garden is spread over two tiers and a selection of patio spaces are strategically placed to avail of the sun wherever it might be in the day. The original stone wall enclosed the property from the roadside.
