Description
Savills present Woodlawn, a sublime four bedroom detached city period residence set on an idyllic site bounding the banks of the River Lee. Woodlawn is truly beautiful, a graceful Georgian period residence without compromise. The original Woodlawn was built c 1830's, the property was extensively renovated and sympathetically refurbished to maintain its beautiful original features by recent owners and today offers itself as a comfortable period home with the luxury of modern conveniences.
Hidden from street view, Woodlawn has both pedestrian and vehicular access off Sundays Well Road, the parking area will easily accommodate three cars and further parking can be found at the end of a gradual gradient ramp with turntable parking platform. Staying outside for a little longer, you begin to appreciate what a special part of Cork city Sundays Well really is and that Woodlawn has one of the best sites available in this location. The views that greet you upon entrance to the property are clear, peaceful and calming. Whilst, the choice and energy that the city offers is within walking distance, the feeling of serenity within the grounds of Woodlawn is almost tangible.
Making our way inside via the solid wood gable door, the hallway is both welcoming and impressively designed, here a cantilevered staircase and double height ceiling set the tone for the accommodation to follow. On the ground floor, you will find two individual reception rooms and an immense kitchen/dining/living space with alcove study area, each of these rooms offers direct access onto the south facing two tier terrace with built in lighting. The ground floor also offers a large utility room and guest WC. Upstairs you will find spacious bedroom accommodation and a study room. Three of the bedrooms have direct access to dressing rooms and en suites. The light and views from the upper floors are simply breath-taking, the views from this vantage point arguably show Cork city's landscape off at its very best.
Woodlawn has extensive grounds which are easily accessed from all key ground floor accommodation. On the southerly elevation you will find an extensive two tier terrace complete with uplighters and cast iron guardrail as well as a gym room which is fully plumbed. On the westerly elevation you will find a private seating area and soothing water feature, the boiler house and outside WC as well as access to the turntable parking platform.
From here steps lead down to the main garden which is tiered with each level providing a different outside experience, the first tier provides a level lawn space, while the following tiers are exceptionally well planted to showcase a variety of planting which have been expertly landscaped. On the final tier there is a large lawn area and an idyllic seating area on the banks of the River Lee.
