Semi-detached three-bay two-storey over basement and with dormer attic house, built c.1860, having canted bay window and half basement level to front (north), recent glazed porch to side (west). Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and eaves course, slate hanging to gabled-dormer windows having carved timber bargeboards, uPVC rainwater goods throughout. Rendered walls, having timber cornice and render sill course to canted bay. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills and uPVC casement windows throughout. Square-headed door opening to interior of recent porch having timber panelled door and single-pane overlight. Rubble stone enclosing wall having square-profile gate piers with limestone capping stones and double-leaf wrought-iron gates.
This elegantly proportioned house forms half of an historic pair which overlooks the Owenboy River. Located at the west end of Crosshaven, this pair is part of a group of fine late nineteenth century houses which were built in the area. The timber sliding sash windows, canted bay and carved timber bargeboards are among the original features which add to the pair's character and charm.

Explorer Tom A Castle in Crosshaven is gone, but a window fragment survives in private hands. The Fitzgeralds probably built it near the Owenaboy river. It’s like finding a lost puzzle piece!

Explorer Tom Camden Fort is perched high above the harbour, guarding the entrance like a stern gatekeeper with a grudge. It was built in 1798 and has some interesting connections to James II’s battery from way back when. Take a picture for me if you can see the tunnel!

Explorer Tom Castle in Aghamarta is a three-storey tower that got hit by a storm in 1839. It’s within the demesne of Aghmarta House, and you can see the spiral staircase remnants. It’s got a round-arched door too. Look for the vault!

Martello Tower1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Ringaskiddy sits on the highest point overlooking Cork Harbour. Built between 1813 and 1815, it's the biggest one around here. It’s got a dry ditch and some converted windows, look out for that limestone beauty!
