Description

Set securely behind a high stone wall on the prestigious Rochestown Road, this magnificent Tudor-style residence dating from 1939 stands proudly on an exceptional 2.35-acre site of remarkable beauty and unparalleled privacy. Rich in character and timeless architectural elegance, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine distinction in one of Cork’s most sought after residential settings. The location is quite simply, second to none – within an easy stroll of the vibrant Douglas Village alongside immediate access to the South Link Road network, connecting you effortlessly to Cork city centre, the airport and surrounding work centres. Yet despite this urban convenience, the property enjoys a wonderfully secluded sanctuary, entirely hidden away amidst its own magnificent grounds. The true jewel in the crown is its award winning botanical gardens, proudly awarded the Munster title in the All-Ireland Garden Competition in 2000. Lovingly curated over decades, the expansive formal lawns are bordered by majestic mature trees, rich shrubbery, and an enchanting, mature collection of roses, climbers, wisteria, and rhododendrons. It is a breathtaking haven of seasonal colour and absolute tranquillity rarely found so close to the city. While the residence has been unoccupied for over a decade, it has been carefully and meticulously cared for. The original architectural integrity remains exceptionally sound, and the structure is robust. The property now presents an extraordinary blank canvas for the discerning buyer to completely restore, modernise, and re-imagine a grand home of immense scale and proud character. With its elegant Tudor architecture, magnificent mature setting and unrivalled location, this is a property of enormous potential. Once restored, it promises to become one of Cork’s finest private residences – a truly outstanding family home combining period charm, privacy and convenience in a setting of exceptional beauty.
