It looks like a country cottage, but this charming home is a Cork city centre gem

By Yay Cork March 26, 2025March 25, 2025

Are you the house hunter who wants it all?

The convenience of the city, the buzz of the bars and restaurants, but also peace and tranquility, room for a boisterous dog, a gorgeous garden for a barbecue or some raised flower beds?

The answer might lie up in Dillon’s Cross, where 119 Gardiners Hill just hit the market, offering all the charm of a stone wall Victorian cottage, combined with modern design, a home office and loads of outdoor space.

Guiding at €395,000, the three-bedroom, one-bathroom home is close to St. Luke’s Cross and the City Centre, with all local amenities and bus services are right on your doorstep.

“This perfect family home arrives to the market in very good condition and benefits from a range of modern features likes its beautiful double glazed sash windows and a full rewire, whilst keeping many beautiful period touches.” says estate agent Paul Fenton of Sherry Fitzgerald, who is handling the sale.

“Entering this home, you are greeted by the bright and welcoming entrance hall, to the front of the property a large living room overlooks the front garden with a set of bi folding doors opening into the open plan kitchen/dining area at the rear, there is large utility and an office with a beautiful view over the well-maintained front garden.”

Moving upstairs, a bright landing provides access to a main bathroom with a hot press and three spacious double bedrooms.

The rear garden features an elevated patio with steps down into a lovely lawned area surrounded by mature trees, flowers and shrubs – it’s even secured with a dog-proof fence.

“St. Luke’s Cross is just a short stroll away, offering all of life’s essential amenities such as shops, pubs, restaurants, bus service schools, library, swimming pool and Glen amenity park close by.

“The city centre is within a twenty-minute walk and there is easy access to the northern ring road network.” adds Fenton.
