Description

Savills are delighted to offer 50 & 51 Richmond Hill to the open market. Offered for sale as a single lot, the property comprises of a pair of semi-detached houses situated in a truly special position on the lower slopes of Richmond Hill.
Enjoying a quiet, elevated setting, the houses occupy a rectangular level site and are surrounded by their own private courtyard and mature gardens. The site is bounded by a combination of stone and block walls, creating an enviable sense of seclusion while still being just moments from the heart of Cork City.

Both properties are traditionally arranged as three-bedroom houses, with the living accommodation and bathroom located on the ground floor, and the bedrooms set out over the upper level. No. 51 also benefits from a versatile fourth room on the ground floor, ideal as a home office, guest room or additional bedroom, along with an attached shed on the southern elevation offering useful storage or scope for further development.

Both properties have their own private yard also. to the front, the communal gardens are laid in level lawn with mature planting and established trees that add character and a sense of peace to the setting. The courtyard offers a sheltered and charming outdoor space, ideal for al fresco dining or quiet retreat. The overall plot is well-defined, and the sense of privacy is rare for such a central urban location.

This superb address benefits from its proximity to the vibrant city centre, making everyday amenities, shops, schools and services all easily walkable. The rejuvenated Victorian Quarter, centred around MacCurtain Street, is quite literally on the doorstep and offers a rich selection of cafés, restaurants and bars, adding to the lifestyle appeal of the location.

While the houses are in need of renovation, they offer significant potential for transformation, either to be refurbished and retained as two individual homes or to be reimagined as one distinctive residence, subject to full planning permission. This offering will appeal to a wide range of buyers, from investors seeking two city-centre homes, to builders and renovators with an eye for potential, or indeed to those looking to create a very special and unique home in one of Cork's most characterful neighbourhoods.
