LOTAVILLE HOUSE , a large late Georgian home on the hills fringing the eastern outskirts of Cork city and overlooking the Lee, is for sale.

A family home for the past four decades, it has 7.500 sq ft of space over three levels, but that excludes the rounded floor area of the three storey rounded tower fully built on its north eastern corner.

Set on three acres of totally private grounds, the property is within three miles of Cork city on the city`s main circular route. Sitting on a wooded hill overlooking Cork Harbour.

A two bed roomed gate lodge and a one-bed granny flat are included. The impressive grounds include a profusion of mature trees and shrubs, including magnolia, oak, pines, copper beech, rhododendrons and laurel. All of this enhancing the impressive driveway to the house. While Lotaville is eminently suitable for use as a very impressive private residence it also has obvious commercial potential.

It is two-storey over basement property. The basement area has been fully converted with games rooms, bar, sauna and shower room, offices, dens, stores and other accommodation which is virtually wholly self-contained. It has replacement windows fitted at this lower level, and has central heating. The original fabric of the basement remains unchanged however and the space can be easily converted to kitchens, offices etc.

The main house has six bedrooms and three fine reception rooms, with the reception rooms all to the front and south-facing part of the house, while a kitchen, pantry and smaller service room plus study with tall bay window are to the rear. A central hallway runs through the house from the front door and inner hall through the main hall and functional galley kitchen, terminating perhaps after a 80 to 100` run with a fine set of French doors to a patio area off the kitchen. Two of the reception rooms are interconnecting, and have fine original white marble fireplaces with brass surrounds, club fenders, and are graced with some appropriately grand antiques and decorative items. All the receptions rooms have ornate plasterwork and ceiling roses.

Much of the original architectural features remain well preserved: the windows at ground and first floor are all wooden sash with intact shutters. Several bedrooms are bright doubles, there are several bathrooms, and the master bedroom really deserves the title, measuring about 25`square with south and east aspect, it has a large dressing room off with arched window with some coloured glazing, full-sized bathroom with bath and shower, and there is access from the dressing room to the upper floors of the slender round tower.

The grounds include a tennis court, meandering paths, greenhouse with vine and numerous quiet seating areas. There is substantial parking space at present and this could be dramatically increased if the tennis court were used.
