Description
Introducing 2 Glenbrook Terrace, a substantial double fronted Victorian style property in a terrace of only eight homes boasting stunning views over the River Lee.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a fully enclosed garden to the front of the house with a raised patio ideal for outdoor dining or a morning coffee as you watch the ships sail past. In addition to the patio there are planting beds with a lovely selection of shrubs and trees adding great life and colour to the garden.
Moving inside, the property continues to impress with its 12ft ceilings on the ground floor and many original features to include coving, picture rails, ceiling roses, open fireplaces, sash windows and staircase with monkey tail handrail - all of which add superb character to this wonderful home.
Accommodation is extensive and consists of an entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, tv room, store and guest WC on the ground floor with five bedrooms on the first floor and a bathroom on the half landing. There is the added benefit of a private roof garden that can be accessed from the landing.
Whilst the property arrives to the market in good condition, there is undeniable potential for the prospective purchaser to come in and elevate the standard of this property even further and putting their own personal stamp on it.
Glenbrook Terrace is situated in an admirable position between Passage West and Monkstown. It is located directly across from the waters edge and provides easy access to Cork city centre, the south ring road network and Ringaskiddy. The cross-river ferry is also just across the road which brings you to and from Rushbrooke Pier in Cobh along with a bus stop for the 216 which brings you to Douglas and city centre.
