Mount Vernon, 68 Sundays Well Road, Sundays Well, Cork, T23 C9R2, Ireland

Mount Vernon is a substantial period property that dates back to the mid 1800's and occupies a prominent site on Sunday's Well Road, adjacent to the iconic "Shakey Bridge" - (Daly's Bridge) making UCC, Fitzgeralds Park and the Mardyke sports grounds only a short stroll from the front door as well as being within easy reach of Bon Secours hospital, CUH and Cork city itself.

Set behind unassuming stone walls, from street level one wouldn't think that such a substantial property lies behind, and once inside, you could be anywhere in the world. Stepping inside the door from the street, you are greeted with a courtyard area which gives access to the house as well as the garage.

Moving inside, the property is set over three levels and accommodation extends to approx. 295 sq.m (3,175 sq.ft.).
At entrance level, there is a porch, entrance hall, living room, family room, office and bathroom. Overhead, there are three double bedrooms and a shower room and at garden level you will find the kitchen, dining room, utility room and the fourth bedroom.

The property was designed with great attention to detail and has been laid out so that all rooms face south, taking in great natural light and enjoying beautiful views over the garden, river Lee, Shakey bridge and FitzGerald's Park.

It is clear that this has been a well loved family home over the years and has been maintained to a fantastic standard, arriving to the market in very good condition throughout. Many of the original features have been retained, adding undeniable charm and character to the house. Examples include intricate stained glass windows, sash windows with original window shutters, monkeytail staircase, coving and picture rails to name just a few.

Externally, the property continues to impress. Set on a most private site of approx. 0.2 acres which in itself is very rare in the city, the tiered garden has been meticulously cared for during the owners time here with a vast array of trees, plants and shrubs giving great life and colour, coupled with the river view and sounds, truly creates an oasis. This property boasts a large fruit and vegetable garden, extensively cultivated over the years producing an array of fresh produce and a selection of vibrant berries. Offering ample space for sustainable gardening and seasonal harvests, this feature enhances the home's appeal for those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle or a picturesque outdoor retreat.
Another rare commodity within the city that this property enjoys, is the benefit of off-street parking in a garage accessed from Sunday's Well Road.

In summary, this property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home in one of Cork's most highly sought after residential locations and must be seen to fully appreciate all it has to offer.

Gardens:
Set on a site of approx. 0.2 acres, this property boasts ample outdoor space comprising courtyards, shed, greenhouse and tiered garden which is bounded by original stone walls.

In addition, there is a lovely private terrace to the front of the house that is non-overlooked and is a perfect area for al-fresco dining during the warmer months
