Description

A character late -19th century house enjoying a commanding elevated setting overlooking Cork Harbour with direct access to the water

Accommodation

Cobh 1.50 km. Midleton 18 km. Cork 23 km. Rushbrooke rail station 0.75 km (Cork 22 mins). Cork International Airport 18 km (via ferry). Ferry Port 11 km. Entrance Lobby, Entrance Hall, Drawing Room, Dining Room, Sitting Room, Kitchen/Breakfast Room, Utility. 6 Bedrooms. 2 Bathrooms. Gardens overlooking harbour with mature trees and shrubs. Fine views over harbour. Boathouse with Potential for conversion. Boat-slip. Swing mooring. About 0.53 hectares (1.30 acres) COOLGREINE An impressive Victorian house standing in its own mature secluded grounds of circa 1.30 acres and commanding a magnificent position overlooking Cork Harbour. The redbrick under slate house is believed to date from 1890 and was almost certainly built for the British Admiralty, then based at nearby Haulbowline Island. The house occupies a bright, sunny position with a southerly aspect and an elevated setting affording fine views over the grounds to the harbour beyond with gardens running down to the water’s edge. The generous accommodation has good proportions and is light and airy with large windows and high ceilings (3.30 m) to the principal rooms. Requiring modernising, the house extends to some 415 sq m (4500 sq. ft) - the accommodation includes three reception rooms, six bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house is of architectural significance and is listed as a protected structure. It is of four bays with accommodation arranged on two full storeys and attic, with projecting blocks, gabled bays and a pyramidal roof and cast-iron finials to the west-facing block. There are pitched slate roofs with red brick chimney-stacks, overhanging eaves and decorative timber barge-board and terracotta tiled cladding to south gable. RUSHBROOKE Coolgreine is located in the leafy suburb of Rushbrooke on Great Island, to the north of Cork Harbour. Developed in the 1860s by the Midleton and Smith-Barry Estates, Rushbrooke was set ‘at a remove from the hustle and bustle of the port of Queenstown’. It is well placed for Cobh, the thriving and historic port town, closely associated with White Star liner the Titanic. There is easy access to both Cork city, via road and rail, as well as Cork International Airport (18 km) and Ferry Port (11 km). Rushbrooke railway station (750 m) and the cross-harbour ferry to Monkstown (2 km) are close by together with creches, primary and secondary schools. Churches of both main denominations are within walking distance. There are many leisure facilities nearby with Rushbrooke Tennis & Croquet Club also within walking distance. Several golf courses at Cobh, Monkstown, Fota and Cork golf clubs are all within 15 minutes whilst sailing clubs are located at Whitepoint itself (700 m), East Ferry (15 mins) and Crosshaven.
