Interior designer rebuilds Ballycotton village with a price of €695,000

When it was decided to move out of the suburbs of Cork City to make a life-changing change, interior designer Joan O’Grady Walshe looked around the county’s coastline, east, west, and back to the east.

She then landed in a rather weary Troy house in the heart of Ballycoton Village in October 2020, an era when the pandemic lockdown still rises and falls like a tide.

Of course, moving eastward, she fell on the sea, but also had to wear a professional design hat, and maybe occasionally a hard hat, as it required a lot of work.

Troy House is located on Main Street Ballycotton

She knows that she can do more by buying by opening the beach and sea views across the road.

Her move to the coast saw her pick up the two-story five-story Troy House, the end home that once was a shop that later became known as Nell’s house, which had a strange two-story front projection, and some weird rooms.

Joan flipped it over his head as an upside-down house, putting a main living room with stolen scenes and scenes upstairs, sat down from the old “projection” and overlooking the magnificent view, only in Joan Dubs a Ply’s “in of of of of of of” and revealing the ‘joan dubs’ window on the “joan dubs a Pill box box” window.

It is an inspiring use of this front section, with views up and down the streets of Balicoton, and all the prosperity of the village, neighbors and day travelers can enjoy the views of either side, sea, bay and beaches in all, and in all the scenery of seals, birds and more birds and more birds, and more birds, and more birds, and more birds, and more birds, and more birds, and more birds. and friendly doves, as well as all sizes, shapes and feather configurations on the wing or water.

Ace’s point of view links back to a dining area, and a high-end kitchen underneath a high, 11-foot vaulted ceiling, a really wise move to have two main front windows (triple glass) as simple as two main front windows (triple glass), with no manipulation or partition: Now, in a sense, they are fewer windows, pictures, pictures, pictures or pictures, or more pictures or more pictures.

The end result of Troy House – because it is a complete entity, a completely transformed and reimagined house filled with low-key, high-quality touch and top-notch craftsmanship, after a little bit of sweat and tears.

Joan recalls painfully flaky plaster, revealing lovely old brickwork on the first floor seat, in the front bedroom downstairs, and other niche creations and aesthetic revelations.

What was a late 1800s old house/shop with rear extension now is a so-smart, 2,100 sq ft four-bed home designed for all life stage adaptations (provision is made for a lift/dumbwaiter from the utility/pantry to the kitchen above), with three ground-floor bedrooms, one front, two to the back with sunny patio/garden access via French doors in one and patio doors in another, and front living room — like a traditional old living room, updated only.

The mid-section in the current deep floor plan now houses the bathroom wisely and provides plenty of storage space, and provides access to the View-Fuly Fuse-Fusefl Front bedroom.

Meanwhile, the hall has been opened by the front and rear of the main/original and rear, with three doors removed for long-distance sight, with a total depth of possibly over 50 feet.

The result is striking, as large, vertical single-pane windows (door shapes) from the porch to the back, or from the back to the porch, with a sea-visible look, while the gantry has attractive round or rosette around the corner, plus blocks of blocks with deep skirts with deep skirts.

A painted staircase, finished runner style, leads to a bright home office overlooking the back garden (it has its own back garden, external access, also through Barrack Hill), then in the return, then flashes through the seductive “wide “pill” window to the bay landing point, showing only a ‘wide’ window on the other side that only shows a portion of the other side (e.g., picture boxes) (like by better beys?

The “reveal” was designed to install old, 8-foot-tall old pine double doors with a full patina from the age and scratches from the builder, who said they were from a monastery in France.

Strangely, they are in this recreated top floor home, where the master suite bedroom is also as slight as a Parisian apartment, except along the connected beach all the way to the East Cork Coastline and all the way to the knock. Indeed, once you get here, it’s almost none of the rest of the house below: It’s a place that mixes old with modernity in a relaxed way.

A creative plan combines mission, environment and accent lighting, and also makes the most of the high ceilings, most of which are from Tramore Rd’s Medlock Lightplan.

Ceramic tiles, including in bathrooms and truly featured long halls, come from tile designs, on the city’s Tramore Road or Delforno Tiles, near Kinsale Road, many windows are motorized from Uniview with blinds, curtains can be controlled remotely, or can be controlled via phone, from anywhere, by phone, can illuminate the camera, can supply companies cameras, etc.

Thoughts and delivery levels show Joan O’Grady Walshe’s Rhodec’s professional interior design pedigree (she does all her private commissions with reflective interiors, but is now completely close to full retirement) and looks at property renewal and basic Trump card.

Here, the highest selling points include the central location in one of East Cork’s most beautiful settings, with the back garden at the back with a secondary path, and the landscaped front garden across the road, now creating a real street parking lot near the road, as in the high season, on a one-off road, the same road is close to the season, which is a daunting challenge.

The price register shows that Joan paid €252,000 for Troy House five years ago and then almost turned it upside down.

Since she did the job, her adult family and brothers from London also returned to Cork, she was ready and willing to “a new project” on a smaller scale.

For sale now is Middleton-based Adrianna Hegarty, who has family ties to former boss Nell (who is married to local Garda here).

Ms. Hegarty guided it in the form of €695,000, and she said: “Now it’s a completely different property; it will be a lucky person.”

It is hard to get a place where you keep your soul, add more souls and have old world and modern comforts. And it’s even rarer next to the sea.
