Description
3 Lansdowne Terrace is a unique three-storey Victorian property dating back to circa 1850 and retaining many of its original period features. Perched on an elevated site at the top of St. Patrick’s Hill, this remarkable home enjoys breathtaking, views across the southern and western sides of Cork city.
Set within the highly desirable Victorian Quarter, and minutes from McCurtain Street, the property is surrounded by a vibrant selection of bars, restaurants, live entertainment venues, and local amenities, while also being just a stone’s throw from the popular Bell’s Field.
To the front, the garden is discreetly set behind a mature hedge and gated entrance, creating a strong sense of privacy from the street. The front door is approached via a flight of steps, with a well-kept lawn area to one side. While secluded, the frontage still enjoys an attractive outlook and provides an appealing setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
The house itself extends over three floors, offering light-filled and well-proportioned accommodation throughout.
The ground floor comprises a welcoming reception hallway, living room, utility room, WC, dining room, and kitchen. The dining room provides access to the kitchen, while a sunroom is accessed both from the hallway and kitchen, creating a seamless flow of living space ideal for modern family life.
On the first-floor return, there is a main bathroom, separate WC, and hot press. A short flight of steps leads to the principal bedroom and a drawing room enjoying elevated outlooks. The second floor comprises three further bedrooms. All front-facing rooms benefit from spectacular views across the city.
The rear yard is designed for ease of maintenance, offering a practical and low-upkeep outdoor space. It includes a covered area providing storage, making it ideal for garden equipment, bicycles, or general household items.
This terrace is steeped in history, with its elevated position holding a cultural significance within Cork’s artistic and urban heritage. The view recalls John Butts ‘View of Cork from Audley Place’ (circa 1750), one of the earliest topographical paintings of the city, capturing a romanticised panorama of Cork as seen from this very northside vantage point.
The property is presented in move-in condition while also offering an exciting opportunity for new owners to place their own stamp on a truly special home. A viewing of this exceptional residence comes highly recommended and should not be missed!
