The House
Oaklodge was built about 1969 and has been in the same family ownership since its construction. It is accessed via cast iron entrance gates and limestone square-profile gate piers with limestone plinth walls surmounted by castiron railings.
As you descend the driveway, you pass one of two large Oak trees which likely date back to the original Woodlands House. The driveway provides ample parking and the rear garden can
easily be accessed from here. The house has had energy upgrades in recent times to include pumping of the external walls to improve the energy efficiency of the building
resulting in a B3 energy rating. Whilst the property now requires investment, its design and layout are well thought out to take full advantage of the sites orientation and views.
As you step inside Oaklodge, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hallway with a gradual ascending stairs and feature return window.
From the hallway, you can access a series of reception rooms to include a kitchen/dining room, utility room, guest lavatory, conservatory and two workshops. Most of the accommodation
is south facing and overlooks the stunning, south facing rear garden which has been well maintained and offers an array of mature planting, a large patio and generous lawns. The
key reception room is a generously proportioned living/dining room which showcases a large natural marble fireplace with brass insert and slate base, bay window and direct access into
the gardens. Upstairs, you will find 5 bedrooms,
most of which have spectacular, south facing unobstructed harbour views.

The Garden
Stepping into the gardens reveals an oasis of calm which showcases an array of mature planting and manicured lawns which have been very well maintained over the years. The grounds are very private and enjoy an unobstructed south facing orientation. The site itself provides spectacular
elevated harbour views which are amongst the best on offer in the Montenotte area.

The Lodge
Upon arrival to Oaklodge, you are met by an attractive gate lodge that was constructed about 1870, which was once the gate lodge of Woodlands House. This attractive lodge
showcases many external period features such as its canted portico entrance, rounded sash window openings with red and yellow brick surrounds, clay chimney pots, corbelled chimney
stacks and eaves. Internally the property has an open plan living room with separate kitchen/breakfast room and one double bedroom with en suite. Outside and to the rear you will find a south facing lawn area.

The Land
The subject site comprises a large detached residential property situated on an elevated site that extends to about 0.784 ha (1.938 acres). The site which is accessed off
the Middle Glanmire Road is regular in configuration with a gentle north to south aspect. Mature trees and hedgerows run along the boundaries providing a mature and secluded setting.
The surrounding area predominantly comprises mature residential estate type developments of
varying densities. The Woodlands development adjacent to the east is made up of approximately 30 detached residential units while Woodland Demense adjacent to the west comprises 7 large, detached dwellings.
