Property Description

The possibility of acquiring a large period property on an acre of mature gardens in a secluded setting yet within 1km of Cork City seldom presents itself. This unique opportunity has just arisen with the launch of Knockrea House on the Douglas Road to the market.
Knockrea House is a fine property extending to approx. 3,750 Sq. Ft. of accommodation spread over two floors and boasting many of its original features and offers spacious living and bedroom accommodation. The property while currently in use as offices with most of the original residence unaltered ensures that the property can easily be reinstated to residential use. With features including high ceilings, sash windows with shutters, stained glass in pannelled doors, original cornicing, centre roses and picture rails , plus gas fired central heating, its hard to imagine Knockrea House as anything other than a lovely family home.
Access to the property is through large recessed double entrance gates with piers and a curved driveway lined with mature laurels leading to a gravel surfaced area with ample parking space.
The mature gardens extend to approximately 0.95 acres with extensive planting of mature shrubs and trees. The property situated in this highly sought after residential location just before the entrance to Knockrea Park has been well maintained throughout and offers the discerning purchaser the chance to put their own stamp on it to return it to family residence once more.
