Daydream believer got the home she always wanted as a child - now she's selling it for €975k
WHEN Lawn House came up for sale in 2018, it tapped into Marion's childhood fantasy of always wanting to see inside the door of this mysterious Drimoleague home.
'It was a very special house to me. I had passed it every day as a child, from the age of 10.
'I was never in it, but I could see it from the road. I loved this house. To me, it was very mysterious. You'd never see anyone coming in or out.' So says Marion, the current owner, who bought it with her husband Andrew seven years ago.
A Drimoleague native, she'd spent much of her adult life in the UK and was selling a house in Suffolk when Lawn House, West End, came up for sale.
'We came here during the summer for a viewing with my mother, who lived down the road. She said 'Oh for God's sake, surely you're not going to buy this place?', Marion recalls.
'I said 'I don't think so', but the truth is I knew I was going to buy it as soon as I walked in the door.' It was 'a sad pile' at the time, the couple says. Windows were held together with angle brackets; carpets squelched underfoot; the roof was ready to cave in. Nonetheless they put in a bid in September 2018 and it was accepted.
'We didn't realise how much work we were taking on. We thought we'd get away with not replacing the roof, but when the builders started looking at the joists and rafters, things changed a bit,' sighs Andrew.
In the end, it was a 'huge project'. The couple has a photographic archive of the restoration work they undertook, and there are pictures of a digger in the hallway and bits of debris everywhere. All the floors had to come up, windows were taken out, specialists had to come from Killarney to address the dampness.
'We were lucky that at the very least there was no dry rot,' Andrew says.
In January 2019, the scaffolding went up around the house. The following month the builders moved in. Once the downstairs floors were dug up, underfloor heating was installed, which went a long way towards resolving any damp. New concrete floors were poured and each of 24 windows was replaced.
'We were staying down the road with my mother and we didn't know when the new windows were arriving, but we suspected something was happening when we passed one day in April 2019 and there were vans and people all over the place,' Marion says.
With the building energy rating at Lawn House improving in leaps and bounds, the next step was to insulate the entire house internally. The result of all the energy upgrades will knock your socks off — it's now rated a B1 — warm enough not to put the socks back on.
The couple is very pleased with this level of energy efficiency given the house dates to c1810.
'We think it was built as a single storey home during the Georgian period and that a second storey was added about 100 years later. We think it may have been built for clergy and we know that a doctor rented it for 15 years,' Marion says. Other than that, the history of the house is flimsy, but what they can say with certainty is that it was 'a cold, damp, unloved house when we bought it'.
'The fact is, if it hadn't been remodeled, it could have collapsed by now, because the roof was already bowing when we bought it,' Andrew says.
The couple, who relied on referrals from people living locally to get tradesmen and builders for the project, managed to move in by October 2019 and spent a year doing internal renovations, including spray-painting the entire house white.
They moved the kitchen out of a side room down the hallway into one of the two front reception rooms that look down over the long front driveway.
It's a striking blend of period features and minimalist modern kitchen units under a towering ceiling with centre rose and coving.
The inbuilt sparkle of a large, quartz-topped island glints in the bright natural light that floods through the double-aspect windows.
A Qettle tap provides instant hot water and a six-ring Rangemaster is ideal for entertaining.
The original spectacular fanlight design remains in place at Lawn House, over an eye-catching, deep blue front door, but the original hallway tiles are long gone.
'It was such a dark house that I wanted something light,' Marion says. The tiles she put down bring a crisp brightness to the space. Floors in the two front reception rooms are engineered oak. Both are double aspect, high-ceiling rooms, with garden views everywhere you look.

Further down the hallway, the former kitchen is now a big, bright utility/pantry.

Stored away behind cupboard doors are the nuts and bolts of the sophisticated air to water heating system – where a drying rack does the job of airing clothes.
Past the graceful staircase, through stunning fanlit double doors, is the 'garden room' added in the 70s or 80s, with access to a lengthy timber deck that Andrew built.

There's a high grade downstairs shower-room too, and across the hallway, a large family room.
Reception room
Overhead, at the top of the staircase, a large landing has scope for seating.
Landing
Each of the four bedrooms off the landing is a double, each has an en suite.
Double aspect bedrooms
Down a few steps, on a half landing, is a home office/study and a walk-in wardrobe. The couple points out that these two rooms could be converted to another bedroom en suite, particularly if new owners were interested in running an Airbnb, which the house and 5.3 acres of grounds (meadow, woodlands and lawn) could certainly accommodate.
They carried out a good deal of work in the grounds too, removing trees that had self-seeded over the years. 'There were so many trees when we bought it, that you could no longer see the house from the road,' Marion says.
They removed a few that would have posed danger in the event of a storm and a few that were negatively affecting drainage. There's still a good deal of woodland left, running around the site periphery and dotted about the beautiful lawns. The River Ruagagh runs through the property close to the northern boundary, and it's all quite dreamy and idyllic.
You'd never guess Main St, Drimoleague was at the bottom of the drive. Having invested vast sums of money to restore and renovate the house that sparked the imagination of 10-year-old Marion, the couple is now selling up, with plans to downsize. Catherine McAuliffe of Savills is handling the sale and she says it's a unique opportunity 'to acquire a beautifully restored period country home where the grounds are entirely private'.
She's already had an enquiry from the US and expects to hear more from overseas, including from Germany and from ex-pats, probably originally from the West Cork area.
'Or there could be local interest, from someone like Marion,' the agent says.
Ms McAuliffe says she expects it to be a fulltime residence.
'It's that kind of house, it needs people living in it,' she says. The guide price for the 315 sq m property is €975,000.
Drimoleague village is located between Bantry, Skibbereen, and Dunmanway and is a 70 minute drive from Cork city.
VERDICT: The next owners will reap the benefits of a skillfully restored, warm, elegant home in a tremendous setting. Shows what can be achieved when a childhood fantasy is realised.

Chance to be part of Cork's €1.825m Red House's history
THE owner of Cork's much-loved Red House was warned by his one-time school history teacher not to muck about with this venerable era private, Leeside residence, with its many rises, and ignominious dips, over more than 200 years of its history: it just about pre-dates the 1815 Battle of Waterloo. Could have met its Waterloo by Wellington Bridge ....but it didn't 'I met my old history teacher, Matt Foley, a few years back at a school reunion and he warned me - in the strongest possible terms - not to change its character,' says the owner, now the vendor of the c 1811 Red House. He had bought it, in a very sorry state, back in 2014 and has since very successfully reversed the ravages of time. A sorry sight and site before salvation came its way In fact, the language used by the retired CBC history teacher (whose family home was over on the Western Road across Wellington Bridge) was a lot stronger than 'the strongest possible terms….' But, the point was made, and not lost on his former pupil who assured his former teacher he had no intention of changing it, he just loved it, had always admired it, and wanted to rescue it. 'I knew the house for years, right back to college days in the 1990s when I lived across the road from it when it had been a family home,' says the Corkman who bought it intending it to be his own family home, having previously lived and worked in Hong Kong and the UK. However, his family and work life now with his US-born wife and children is in Dublin, so having bought, saved and 'lightly restyled' the Red House at very considerable expense, and having of late rented it at the very upper end of the corporate letting scale, has decided to part ways with it, ready for its next life chapter. Sitting pretty Red House has been here in these Property & Home pages before, variously called No 72, Red House, and more properly Lisheen. Red rag-order in 2006 We wrote about it back in 2006 when it was described as a 'Lady in Red, albeit more than slightly down at heel,' having had the ignominy, for a period, of being lived in by squatters who'd started chopping up some of the internal timbers for the fireplace to stay warm. Even despite its poor order of two decades back, it had carried a pre-auction guide/hope of €1.5m to €2m: this was back in roaring Celtic Tiger times when a Sunday's Well house had set a Cork home price record of c€5m and the country was awash in (borrowed) cash. High end finishes now It didn't sell, and so sat for a number of subsequent years, slowly decaying and came back for sale in 2014, all boarded up, faded (pic, top right), a shadow of once-upon a time more glorious days, and sold for €450,000 to its current owner, later described in these pages as 'a dreamer' for the scale of what was taken on. High level section links the now amalgamated home, part Georgian, part Victorian and wholly modernised The couple brought the highly regarded Pat O'Sullivan of Kiosk Architects on board, and then engaged Rose Construction for the herculean task of working with a period home inside and outside, on a challenging riverside and roadside site, in red-rag order, and one which was granted listed building status by Cork City Council after their purchase. Vaulted ceiling with ornate rose: the thorny work was done by Rose Construction Singled out for special protection were large ceiling roses in two of the reception rooms in the c3,800 sq ft 'home of two halves', part dating to the early 1800s, the other Victorian, dating to the 1860s and which at various times were used as one, and sometimes two, residences. The older Georgian/Queen Anne era 'half' also has one of the conserved plasterwork roses crowning a very fine vaulted ceiling, all in any case given due regard as was the owners' and architects' intentions in any case. (The vendors had previous experience of house renovations in older era homes in London and in West Cork.) Opportunity knocks Post the 2014 purchase, it took a few years before work could really start at Lisheen/aka No 72, also previously West View Cottage, and later West View Villa (and, 'the Red House' to the rest of us.) Its latter, finishing up staged were after a certain global pandemic hit, with covid adding to time lines, materials and build costs and restrictions. As well as using Kiosk Architects for the salvation and rebirth of Red House, the couple got full planning for a Kiosk-designed c 1,700 sq ft ultra contemporary one-off in a side garden on the property's overall c 0.25 acre site, and this was offered for sale in 2022 with a €475,000 AMV. Now, more practically, both the site with its positive planning history and the fully reborn Red House with up to six bedrooms and understated yet high-end finishes, top to bottom under a wholly-new roof down into a lower part-basement are rolled into the one package, with a €1.825m guide cited by agent Johnny O'Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald. Mr O'Flynn knows that he is selling a Cork classic, in a hallowed city suburb much valued by medics and other well-heeled professionals and where older era homes now tend to get very costly upgrades when and if selling on. The Price Register shows a half a dozen with a Sundays Well address selling for between €1m and €2.2m, with the boom time era €5m Woodlawn showing as a 2016 resale at €2.195 million. The house immediately downriver of Red House, The Hollies sold in 2016 for a recorded €800,000 and has since had a very costly makeover: the setting right on the river is what makes these one-offs of the Georgian and Victorian eras so highly prized. Red House has possibly the very best or most engaging of River Lee/Sundays Well views, not just from the grounds but from the inside as well: look west/upriver and you see Wellington Bridge/Thomas Davis Bridge and County Hall; look downriver and you see the iconic Shakey Bridge/Daly's Bridge: Cork's Red House is almost as iconic. 'At one stage during the work we had thought about changing the colour to more of a pink, but while we were doing the work the architects started getting letters from neighbours and members of the public saying they really hoped it was going to stay red, and of course it has,' say the owners who could possibly have had red blood on their hands if they veered of the original bolder lipstick red colour at this true on-off. The man behind Red House's full-blooded 21st century restoration and conservation says the first lease they got sight of was in 1804, between a Rt Hon Richard Edmund St Laurence and James Bonwell; then, a 90 year lease between the Earl of Cork and Ossery and a William Newman; next, in 1892, it was leased to a Dominick Daly by Viscount Dungarvan: 'I loved history and had a great history teacher,' says the 2025 vendor, still possibly afraid of being haunted by a certain history teacher, living locally….. Sherry FitzGerald's Johnny O'Flynn chimes in on the sale now to say 'seeped in history and known by Corkonians as 'The Red House', West View Villa is an imposing five / six bedroom detached waterside home, with so much space, it is hard to believe just how centrally located in Cork City you are.' Now includes off-street parking He says home work done here was meticulous, blending charm and originality with modern day comforts, and captivating views from just about every room, with a large double garage with remote control access for off-street parking and private garden on three sides, landscaped by designer Sean Russell. There are some pressed metal interventions in a vertical bay window treatments, one on the main river-and Mardyke facing facade, the other horizontal in the top floor span corridor, with timber sashes also, most with original window shutters. Flooring's a mix of solid timber, reclaimed and Victorian style tiles (sourced in Toledo Spain,) slate and cast iron insert fireplaces, a contemporary two- tone kitchen by Clohane Wood Products Skibbereen, and bathroom and sanitary ware from Bert & May, London. There are up to six bedrooms (two with en suites) and masses of storage on all levels, including a steady temperature lower ground level pantry/wine cellar and basement store, twin gas boilers, alarm and CCTV among the 21st century adaptations to a 220+year old Cork icon. Semi-basement pantry/wine cellar with storage access Selling agents Sherry FitzGerald add 'it's exceptionally rare that properties like this come to the market… even more so ones that have been so meticulously restored to such a high standard.' VERDICT: the only thing a new owner might want to do is change the colour…..if they want to be run out of town, before they ever get to unpack.

Join the Western Alliance at Cork's Western Road 'American houses'
IRISH homes of a century and more ago had many parallels to those of our nearest and once colonialist neighbour Britain, impacting on the designs of little and large, in countryside estates, Georgian and Victorian piles, city pads, terraces, and suburban spreads and sprawls. Six of the best But, as the State found its feet, other nationalities from Germany, France, and international movements got a look in too, in industrial, commercial and residential construction: witness the affection still held nearly a century on for Cork City's 'American houses,' of which there's only half a dozen at Annaville, near UCC on the city's Western Road. One of Cork city's much loved 'American houses' will test the Western (Road) Alliance American architecture got more than occasional look-ins in Cork, witness the likes of Neil Hegarty's Dundanion Court in Blackrock; Christ the King Church at Turners Cross; the Ford factory on the Marina, or the industrial output of the likes of local city architect Frank Murphy at the North Mall. Then, even closer to UCC and the Mardyke, at Annaville, as American as Mom and apple pie. Stateside meets Leeside Dating to the interwar period, these colonial revival, red-brick, over semi-basement houses, with white pillared porches, dormer attics with quarter lune windows, side sun rooms (and trellised balconies above accessed off the principal bedroom,) are credited to Boston architect Harry Morton Ramsay, and to wealthy Cork emigrant Cornelius Buckley who developed furniture stores on the US east coast. Buckley later returned to Cork to build a Lee valley summer house, Valley View along with these six, speculative and wholly 'modern' detacheds, with varied design changes in three sets of two, across facing rows in a gated cul de sac, with an ornate gated entrance to the Western Road, and with pedestrian gates to the Mardyke facing Fitzgerald Park. Entrance to the six 'American houses' is on Cork's Western Road Built in the late 1920s, with construction overseen by local architect Chillingworth and Levie, they had much of their build materials shipped over from the United States, including oak flooring, lighting and electrical fixtures; glass, brass and bronze door furniture, hinges, and Bakelite kitchen trims, coloured bathroom suites, the lot, all before the time of shipping containers. Pure Cork, tho' Timing, however, was rotten: started after 1926, they completed just after the Wall Street Crash and sales were slow. Buckley allowed various family members to live in them until sales picked up: they went on to garner increasing success, and recognition up to the present date, with only a few changing hands over the last 25 years. The last appears to be No 6, making €450,000 in 2019: now it's the turn of No 3 Annaville, a property prize if ever there was one for reasons from location to rarity, quality, charm and, yes, bragging rights, albeit on a sub-Trumpian scale. Main bedroom at 3 Annaville has balcony/terrace access No 3 has been the family home of the O'Leary clan since 1963, says Gerald O'Leary, who was aged three when his parents, Denis and Doreen O'Leary had the chops and chutzpah to buy it for a family of four, later to swell to six children during their long tenure here. As American as Mom and apple pie That's only now about to come to an end after the passing of Doreen in November last, a number of years after her husband Denis O'Leary, known to generations as a city pharmacist on Cork's Grand Parade. Denis had come from the Cork countryside, Doreen came from the Ballinlough Road and they all loved it here, says Gerald, all appreciating it for work, city, shops, schools and college convenience, whilst Fitzgerald Park was literally a stone's throw, or a ball hop, away across the leafy Mardyke. Even today, the vastly upgraded children's play area in the city's beloved public riverside park is a superb amenity, within child-chatter and laughter earshot from the rooms on the left hand side of No 3. Three-storey and six bedroomed, with c 2,200 sq ft on c 0.1 of an acre within the overall gated 0.75 acre Annaville niche enclave, it's been a very well kept family home, albeit largely unchanged over many decades, with the main alteration having been opening up three small back kitchen/service/pantry rooms into one where there's now a lurid yellow kitchen: the family also added a ground floor upgraded bathroom where previously Annaville homes had a ground floor WCs for a maid. Maids? Domestic staff (even in almost 'normal' size family homes) were still a feature up to the mid 1900s in middle class Cork. On the button? A maid could be summoned via a floor button under the dining table No 3 has a great reminder of those days, with a brass plate in the dining room under the good table, left over from a floor bell button, when the hostess of the house could summon 'the help' from the kitchen to serve the next course(s), and remove the dirty dishes, at the tap of a toe, without even an audible click of a finger, or a shift in the hostess's seat (nope, didn't work in O'Leary family times, we're told of this tiny museum/other era domestic timepiece.) Fine fireplace in main living room Selling to 21st century buyers and guiding at €895,000 is Michael O'Donovan of Savills who reckons home hunters (with or without staff) 'will be struck by the sense of exclusivity and the architectural distinction of this unique collection of homes: it's a remarkable property, with a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Cork's residential heritage.' Parking and garage too He highlights the integrity, the 'rich period charm and a showcase of imported American craftsmanship,' including American oak, pine and mahogany staircase, and a layout that today will still suit 'modern' family life, with a dining room off the kitchen, a large double aspect living room and optional dual access points to a bright southern gable sunroom. Above are four bedrooms, one with shower en suite and walk-in robe — a sort of provision not commonplace in most 'new' Irish homes until the 1980s or '90s — as well as a door to the terrace above the sun room, with perimeter low railings for those who'd find themselves having a sit-out use here. All bedrooms have built-in robes (again, novel at the time, almost a century ago), plus main bathroom. A second, almost-concealed staircase behind a door on the landing leads to two attic level bedrooms, with peculiar centre store area with dormer window (yet hard to access,) eaves storage and lovely side hinged gable windows. No 3 is set to the rear of Annaville and so has its own pedestrian gate straight to the Mardyke where Fitzgerald Park, UCC sports arena, Sunday's Well Tennis Club and Cork Cricket Club all line out for sporting attention: the enclave has a more communal gate too, secure, with overhead lamp on an ornate, green-painted trellis, a smaller version of the more imposing gates on Western Road which used to face the long-departed Western Star and with the Bon Secours on the southern horizon. VERDICT: There's been quite the rash of €1m+plus new and older home sales in the past year or two in Cork western suburbs, largely driven by a robust economy and mid and high level medical hospital/consultant post appointments. A handful of high-profile Leeside arrivals are due in the €1.5m/€2m price bracket in coming weeks too, to test the market's upper end mettle. A number of the recent sales make the €895k 3 Annaville look like a good buy. Time to Make Annaville Great Again?
