Keeping its incredible Georgian facade, the property has been refurbished with a modern charm, effortlessly blending stately architectural heritage with refined contemporary luxury. Heading up the sweeping gravel driveway, you're immediately wowed by the manicured hedging and mature planting, while granite steps lead you inside.
Immediately entering the home, you're greeted by a generously proportioned reception hall which is a statement in and of itself on the home. A dining room and drawing room stand as teh principal reception spaces, offering expansive views of the bay, and boast high ceilings, their original fireplaces and ornate cornicing, as well as oversized sash windows showing off the home's timeless craftsmanship.

Heading below the dining room is a cosy and intimate family snug, while the split-level stairwell leads to the four bedrooms upstairs.
The main bedroom boasts a corner seat at the bay window to take full advantage of the stunning views, while two more bedrooms on this floor feature luxurious en-suite bathrooms. A refined home study completes the first floor. Pic: Lisney | Sotheby's Pic: Lisney | Sotheby's Pic: Lisney | Sotheby's Pic: Lisney | Sotheby's Pic: Lisney | Sotheby's
The garden level of the home is just as impressive as the two floors above it, with a second sitting room that mirrors the master bedroom including matching bay windows. This leads to an elegant sunroom, and beyond that lies the stunning kitchen/breakfast room, thoughtfully designed for both practicality and entertainment.
Additional accommodation at garden level include two more double bedrooms, and a family bathroom which boasts a sauna. A plant room and additional reception room that offers versatility ranging from business to pleasure.

The grounds are just as impressive as the home itself, with the masterfully designed gardens being a staple of the home. An al fresco dining terrace is perfect for entertaining in those summer months (or days when we get sunshine), and also boasts a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, garden store and feature water fountain. To sweeten the deal even further, Killiney Beach is directly accessed via the home — a rarity in homes in the village.

Clancy's on Princes Street which is one of Cork's most iconic pubs has entered an exciting new chapter. Clancy's Cork is now home to four unique food and drink experiences under one roof, including a new Guinness collaboration and a rooftop bar with panoramic views. The reimagined Clancy's blends heritage with innovation to cement its place at the heart of Cork's hospitality scene. Clancy's officially launched its new look venue on Wednesday, July 30 and the refurbishment has helped marry the building's rich heritage with fresh innovation. The ambitious reimagining has resulted in the creation of Arthur's Bar @ Clancy's – a new experience for Guinness lovers in Cork developed in collaboration with Diageo. Other new features include1824 @ Clancy's – a first-floor restaurant celebrating contemporary Irish cuisine; a dedicated cocktail lab for premium mixology and the vibrant Sky Bar @ Clancy's, a rooftop party bar with panoramic views of the city. A cornerstone of Cork's social and cultural life since 1824, the redevelopment aims to position Clancy's at the forefront of the city's hospitality scene. Owner Paul Montgomery, alongside Group General Manager Dave Daly and Head of Food & Beverage Shane Spillane, led the relaunch, with 15 new local jobs created. Mr Montgomery said: 'We've taken Clancy's long legacy and built something exciting and future-facing. From the new Guinness experience at Arthur's Bar to the food offering at 1824 and a party atmosphere to raise the rooftop at Sky Bar, this is a venue where locals and visitors alike can come to enjoy great taste, storytelling and Cork hospitality at its best.' ADVERTISEMENT Among the most talked-about additions is Arthur's Bar, a new experience for Guinness lovers in Cork that brings one of Ireland's most iconic brands to life in the heart of Cork city. Developed with Diageo, this ground-floor bar offers experiences that include pour-your-own pint, tasting flights, a 'Stoutie' machine where you can print out your own image on the head of the pint, and a food pairing experience. There's also lots of Guinness memorabilia and original artwork celebrating Guinness in the pub over the past 100 years. Arthur's Bar celebrates the craft and character of the perfect pint, served with signature Cork charm. The partnership nods to Guinness's long-standing ties with Cork and Clancy's, most notably through its headline sponsorship of the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival.
