Semi-detached three-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c. 1870, having gabled end-bay and porch to front (east) elevation and projecting gabled bay with full-height, crenellated bay window to south elevation. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and timber bargeboards with finials. Timber bargeboard and finial to dormer window. Rendered walls with moulded render cornice to porch and render string course to bay window. Square-headed openings having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, and limestone sills throughout. Casement windows to dormer window. Continuous render sill course to south elevation. Blind, square-headed window openings to front elevation. Blind pointed arch opening to porch, south elevation. Pointed arch opening to porch with overlight and half-glazed timber panelled door. Pair of rendered square-profile piers to south having double-leaf spear-headed gates.
Notable example of a Victorian villa, which illustrates the late nineteenth century penchant for the Tudor Revival style in a domestic setting. The house is distinguished by the crenellated, canted bay, which adds artistic interest to the façade.

RosenburgHouse · 12 yd

Explorer Tom Rosenburg is right next to Oldenburg and they’re probably fighting over who has the fancier crenellated bay, like two toddlers with castles. Make sure you tell them both are losers.

post box27 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Ringmeen has fancy lettering and a crown, looking all regal for a mailbox. I suspect it’s just a fancy trash can for love letters you were too scared to send yourself.

Cobh Heritage CentreMuseum · 711 ydMartello Tower712 yd

Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Haulbowline Island was built by the Navy and now guards their HQ. It’s got wooden stairs and a water tank up top. Tell it I said g'day from across the harbour, will you?

Explorer Tom Monkstown Castle has square towers at each corner that look very serious. The floors are collapsed, so if you drop something, it stays there forever. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Carrigaline Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.
