Model Farm Road, Cork

Savills are delighted to present Hilltop, a wonderfully private and well-presented detached bungalow discreetly positioned along the prestigious Model Farm Road. Hidden from view behind mature planting and set on an impressive site of approximately 0.32 acres, this charming 1960’s home offers exceptional privacy, generous accommodation and superb potential in one of Cork’s most sought-after residential locations.

Approached via a long tarmacadam driveway bordered by a mature laurel hedge, clumping bamboo and established planting beds, Hilltop is carefully screened from the public road, creating an immediate sense of seclusion and tranquillity. Built in the 1960’s and thoughtfully extended in the 1970’s, the property offers deceptively spacious accommodation with an abundance of natural light throughout, enhanced by its sunny west-facing aspect.

The accommodation is both flexible and generous in scale. It briefly comprises an entrance porch leading to a welcoming entrance hall, a comfortable TV room, spacious living room and a bright kitchen overlooking the gardens. There are five well-proportioned bedrooms, some currently used for alternative purposes, along with a family bathroom, separate WC and an additional shower room, offering excellent versatility for modern family living, home offices or guest accommodation.

Immediately off the kitchen lies a fully enclosed courtyard garden, beautifully finished with brick paving, lawn and a sheltered BBQ area, creating a perfect outdoor entertaining space. This courtyard also includes a useful garden shed and provides a wonderfully private sun trap.

To the rear, the property enjoys a large, mature garden benefiting from an uninterrupted west-facing orientation. The garden is mainly laid out in manicured lawn with generous patio and BBQ areas ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. Additional features include a detached block-built garage and a practical 10’ x 10’ Adman steel shed, providing excellent storage and workspace options. Given the size and layout of the site, the rear garden may also offer future development potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Hilltop benefits from a number of practical upgrades including pumped cavity wall insulation (2016), uPVC windows and doors, fibre broadband and a security alarm system, ensuring comfort and connectivity for modern living.

Located at the city end of Model Farm Road close to Mount Mercy, this address is widely regarded as one of Cork’s most desirable and established residential areas. The property enjoys exceptional convenience, being within easy walking distance of Wilton Shopping Centre, Bons Secours Hospital, St. Catherine’s, Mount Mercy College, University College Cork, Munster Technological University, Cork University Hospital and Cork city centre.

Combining privacy, space and an outstanding location, Hilltop represents a rare opportunity to acquire a superb family home in a mature and highly convenient setting. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this wonderful property has to offer.
