It was built in 1862 for the gatekeeper of a swanky terrace.

But having just hit the market at a tantalising €175,000, The Coachman’s Lodge will be getting a lot of interest from Cork house hunters hungry for a slice of period charm in the city centre.

Offering a cosy 40 square metres of floor space, No 17 Charlemont Terrace, Wellington Road, St. Lukes is tucked neatly inside the original pillars, allowing just enough space for one car outside.

Boasting large Georgian windows to the front and side, it’s perched on a leafy avenue just off the main Wellington Road, near the historic Hewit College Campus.

And while it may be small, it offers big views stretching over the city skyline with a vista of green fields beyond.

Inside it’s packed with quirky charm, a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

The layout includes a sweet kitchen and living room downstairs, with one bright and airy bedroom and a bathroom up the wooden staircase.

This location offers the perfect blend of trendy and traditional.

It’s nestled steps away from the bohemian haven of St. Luke’s Village, with its artisan delis, charming wine bars, and cool coffee shops. Yet, a quick downhill stroll takes you straight to Cork’s vibrant Victorian Quarter, where the city life buzzes. It’s the best of both worlds, all within a stone’s throw.
