Description

Savills are delighted to present No. 1 Wellington Villas, a beautifully renovated three-bedroom Victorian period home set in one of Cork City's most sought-after locations, St. Luke's, with truly outstanding city and river views. Built c.1865 and extending to approx. 175 sq m / 1,880 sq ft, this is a rare opportunity to own a prestigious city home finished to the highest standard and ready for immediate occupation.

Accessed from Military Hill, the property offers both pedestrian entry and private garage parking via an automated roller door. The gardens, designed by Sublime Landscaping, are a triumph – with regal blue limestone paving, bespoke cedar panelling, and a gorgeous selection of trees, shrubs and flowers. This is a private oasis with panoramic vistas, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

Inside, the accommodation blends period elegance with modern luxury. The entrance hall, with high corniced ceilings and timber floors, leads to a cosy snug/library. To the front is a majestic living room with original fireplace, linked by discreet pocket doors to an equally impressive sitting room overlooking the rear garden. Both rooms are flooded with light and feature newly installed wood-burning stoves.

On the ground floor is the heart of the home – a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge designed and installed by David Kiely Kitchens, complete with granite-topped island, high-spec appliances and clever ambient lighting. A dining/lounge area with designer gas fire creates a warm, social hub. This level also includes a stylish bathroom with free-standing bath, plus direct access to the landscaped garden.

Upstairs, the master bedroom enjoys a westerly aspect with glorious city views, while two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a second bathroom complete the picture.

The garage (approx. 2m x 9m) provides secure parking and excellent storage, with potential for conversion to further accommodation or a home office. Every inch of this home has been finished with care, from the exquisite joinery to the thoughtful lighting design.

Located just 700m from McCurtain Street and moments from The Address Hotel, the property is surrounded by top schools, shops, cafés, and excellent public transport links. It offers the best of city living in a peaceful, elevated setting.

No. 1 Wellington Villas is a home of rare quality, where Victorian charm meets contemporary comfort – perfect for family life, entertaining, and even working from home.
