We’ve come across plenty of beautiful houses that look great on paper but wouldn’t really float our boat when looking for a property to actually live in.
This beautiful mansion in Cork though is right up our street.
Menloe House in Blackrock is on the market for €1.8m and we’re not exaggerating when we say it might be the most elegant home we’ve ever seen.
This Georgian period property is set back from the Blackrock Road with a recessed entrance, while the detached Gate Lodge is a lovely two-bedroom detached lodge separate to the main building.
The house also offers…
-
Tuscan tetra-style portico and
inviting oak wood panelled hallway -
Separate two bedroom detached lodge with living/kitchen/dining space, shower room, two and a south facing seating area
-
Main house with architectural features such as single storey screen walls, square headed window openings with stone cills and sliding sash windows

Three spacious reception rooms
with open fires -
Four bedrooms, one en-suite with a
study and main bathroom -
Large garage with high eaves and
further storage sheds -
Level lawn space and mature tree

Large patio hugging the south and
west elevation of the property -

Lynch Tunnel and Cork International Airport
