Description

Rosenburg is an exceptional Period property with an abundance of charm and character dating from 1870 and is a prime example of Victorian craftsmanship. It is located in prime position on the Low Road, Cobh with spectacular harbour views, large gardens and maximum privacy. The rooms are bright and spacious - the ground floor having 2 traditional reception rooms (one bay window) original fireplaces, cornicing and many other Victorian features. There are six bedrooms of which the master has an ensuite bathroom. Fully fitted kitchen with separate dining area and oil fired Aga cooker. Windows are mix original and replacement. Heating is oil fired and zoned. Rosenburg like other properties on the Low Road was built in 1870 and was leased to the British Admiralty as naval officer homes during British occupation of Ireland. Architectural features of these properties were more ornate and decorative than that of the preceding Georgian era. Plate glass was introduced around this time hence the shift from many panelled Georgian windows to larger panes as detailed in the photo above. Bay windows also became a feature - a distinct contrast to the flat edged facades of Georgian buildings. Steeped in history this superb residence will make a great family home in a much sought after area of a beautiful award winning town. Included in sale is some of the original furniture.
