Seefin, Buxton Hill, is a beautifully appointed five-bedroom, Victorian semi-detached home built in about 1880, located off Sunday’s Well Road and extending to approximately 200 sqm.

Spanning three floors, this home, which is rich in original features, offers generous living space throughout. On entering, you are welcomed by a charming reception hallway that leads to two spacious reception rooms on either side and a modern architect-designed rear extension comprising an open plan kitchen/dining area, a utility room, and a downstairs bathroom. The first floor hosts two spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the second floor offers three additional bedrooms.

To the rear, with access via Buxton Hill, there is parking for up to three cars, and to the front you are met with a large, south-facing garden. It provides an extended private haven framed by mature hedging and trees.

The location is truly ideal. Situated in the sought-after Sunday’s Well area, this home is a hidden gem, peaceful yet exceptionally convenient. It is just a short distance from Cork City Centre, University College Cork, Mercy University Hospital, CUH, and the Bon Secours, and within walking distance of a range of local amenities, including Fitzgerald’s Park and the Lee Fields. A range of primary and secondary city centre schools are within walking distance. This is a fantastic opportunity to live in one of Cork’s most desirable and well-connected neighbourhoods.

This property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy Victorian character with a modern twist, while still allowing the new owner to put their own stamp on it.
