Description

Welcome to Rosanna House, a truly exceptional six bedroom detached residence nestled on the prestigious Lee Road, one of Cork's most established and sought after residential areas. Steeped in history, Rosanna House is one of half dozen homes historically associated with Cork's former merchant princes. Upon entering the grounds via beautiful wrought iron single and double leaf gates, forged in nearby Millboro in the 1830s, Rosanna House is accessed via a winding tree lined avenue situated on a private elevated site offering picturesque southerly views over the Lee Valley and beyond. At the top of the avenue there are automated electric gates and beautiful limestone steps that form the entrance to Rosanna House. With approx. 3,068 square ft of accommodation every room is generously proportioned with the house's reception rooms all south facing designed to capture maximum natural light while offering breathtaking views of the Cork city skyline. Inside, the home boasts two reception rooms, six bedrooms, a kitchen complete with a Range Master, library area, two bathrooms, utility room, two guest bathrooms and ample storage areas. The hallways are equally large creating a sense of space and flow throughout the home. Externally, Rosanna House offers a private retreat featuring meticulously maintained gardens landscaped with beautiful plants, trees and shrubbery, a patio and courtyard, perfect for outdoor entertaining and dining, a pond, mature woodlands that surround the house and views of the river and beautiful valley below that are simply breathtaking. Rosanna House's substantial size and tranquil surroundings are conveniently located fifteen minutes' drive from Cork city centre. Whilst in need of modernisation, properties of this calibre are rarely available and a viewing is essential to fully appreciate everything that Rosanna House has to offer.
