If you’re a fan of period detail, this one will make you swoon.

A stunning slice of Cork history has just hit the market in Montenotte, giving deep-pocketed buyers the chance to own one of the city’s finest Georgian homes — and the rest of us the chance to take a sneaky peek inside.

Tinhalla, a protected structure dating back to 1830, is guiding at €1,150,000 and comes packed with the kind of original details people dream about: soaring ceilings, sash windows, stained glass and elegant Georgian features throughout.

Widely regarded as one of the standout period properties to hit the Cork market in recent years, it’s easy to see why this four-bedroom home is turning heads.

“It forms part of a group with the adjoining four houses which were built in the nineteenth century to accommodate the growing middle class.” explains Laura Pratt of Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty Cork.

“The survival of the original fenestration is notable, while the high-quality ironwork contributes to both the setting of the house and to the streetscape.”

Inside, the house is packed with original Georgian character, from the soaring ceilings and sash windows to the stained-glass entrance lobby, decorative ceiling roses and picture rails. Period details like the ornate window and door surrounds are still beautifully intact, while the canted bay windows at the rear add even more charm.

Outside, the classic Georgian features continue with stone window sills, a mix of original timber sash and PVC windows, and a basement area framed by wrought-iron railings finished with spearhead and pinecone detailing.

Step back in time…

Spread across an impressive 4,757 sq ft, the home has loads of space to work with.

Downstairs, there’s a grand entrance hall alongside a living room, dining room, home office and bathroom. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC, while the dormer attic has been turned into a private suite complete with a master bedroom, en-suite, walk-in wardrobe and extra storage.

The basement is equally impressive, with an open-plan kitchen, two versatile reception rooms opening straight onto the garden terrace, plus a laundry room, boot room, bathroom and even a wine cellar.

The possibilities are endless for a buyer with the funds to modernise these spaces.

Outside, the property sits on around 0.2 acres of magical tiered gardens overlooking the River Lee. Think mature trees, landscaped planting, a sculpted pond, winding pathways and a south-facing terrace designed to make the most of the view.

There’s also a detached glasshouse, garden shed and gated access to Beale’s Hill that could be restored by the new owners.
