Woodview House, Church Hill, Glanmire, Cork

Description

Welcome to Woodview House – a truly exceptional and most elegant period house set amidst beautifully landscaped and mature gardens, on an elevated and private 0.6 acre site, with wonderful woodland views, nestled at the edge of Glanmire village.

This special property has been tastefully and sensitively extended and renovated over the last 30 years, and now provides the height of luxury and comfort one comes to expect from a modern home. With extensive upgrades, both inside and out, several rooms were reimagined with architectural input, while thoughtful interior design choices were made throughout to honour the home’s period character. Over the years, this residence has been carefully enhanced, with every effort made to preserve its original charm and timeless appeal.

The grounds and gardens have also been meticulously maintained and cared for, with leading garden designers consulted on the creation of a magnificent sunken garden with a water feature as well as a multitude of impressive specimen trees and plants.

Offering a rare sense of privacy and space, Woodview House is a serene retreat just minutes from everyday amenities and conveniences.

Accommodation
The front of the property is accessed via secure, private gates with an intercom system, opening onto a spacious gravel area, double garages/storage areas, and a newly renovated fully serviced office. A sweeping driveway, complete with additional internal gates, leads you gracefully to Woodview House.

Framed by stone walls, mature trees, manicured lawns, and expansive gardens, the setting is both grand and tranquil. The grounds are rich with colourful planting and flowers, and dotted with thoughtfully positioned patio areas – ideal for enjoying a quiet coffee while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Equipped with a premium Hydrawise irrigation system, the gardens benefit from smart, efficient watering all year round. The gardens are also floodlit, offering gentle lighting and a pleasant ambience in the evening.
