A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period property in Montenotte on extensive mature gardens of 0.7 acres has arisen with the launch of Eglantine. This unique residence boasts 340 sqm (3,660 sqft) of both living and bedroom accommodation with an unbeatable location just 1.7km from Cork city making this truly a remarkable historical home.


Eglantine is an extraordinary four-bedroomed detached property spanning two levels with basement underneath. Dating back to c.1822, this distinguished home retains many of its original architectural features, including high ceilings, sash windows with shutters, a stained-glass front porch, centre roses, and picture rails. This Georgian dwelling showcases period embellishments such as pediments and surrounds on the windows and front door, along with charming canted bay windows. The corniced ceilings were crafted by Italian stucco workers, who named the area after the battle of Montenotte in northern Italy.


The well-proportioned accommodation includes an entrance porch, a grand reception hallway, a living room, a lounge, a formal dining area, and a kitchen, all on the ground floor. The first floor comprises three spaciously large bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the fourth bedroom directly located off the half landing, completing the internal layout. Eglantine has also been recently upgraded with gas central heating.


Eglantine is accessed via impressive white cast-iron double entrance gates with pillars, leading to a sweeping curved driveway lined with mature shrubs. The property is surrounded by gardens, featuring a lawn with sculpted fountain and an orchard with a greenhouse and garden shed.


Situated in the highly sought-after Montenotte area, this property is within easy walking distance of St Luke's Cross, which offers a variety of local cafés, amenities, and restaurants. Additionally, it is located just two entrances down from The Montenotte Hotel and Spa, and is within walking distance of McCurtain Street, a thriving area formally known as the Victorian Quarter. Convenient access to Cork city centre and the N40 South Ring Road further enhances the appeal and convenience of this exceptional residence.


Eglantine presents a unique opportunity to own a distinguished detached period home in a prime location, offering the perfect balance of family living, historic charm and modern convenience in an unmissable location. Set on private mature gardens of 0.7 acres, this magnificent four-bedroom home provides ample space both inside and out. Although in need of restoration and modernisation throughout, this opportunity is ideal for a growing family who want exclusivity and privacy while availing of the excellent schools in the area and the proximity of Cork city.
