IT’S RARE FOR a new development to come to market that combines period design, city convenience and spacious living as smoothly as Blackrock House.

Built in the 1700s, the landmark Georgian building once housed Cork’s Ursuline order of nuns, founded by local heroine Nano Nagle. It has been meticulously refurbished and renovated inside to create 27 luxury apartments, with a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom options available.

Apartments at Blackrock House are on sale with Lisney, with prices available on application. Thanks to its status as a site of historical interest, Blackrock House has a listed building status, and maintains many of its original interior and exterior features.

The project to re-imagine the 35,000 square foot site has been one of conservation as much as conversion, and the new apartments have been sensitively designed to preserve their centuries of character.

The result is breathtaking, with contemporary design features standing alongside original fan windows, cornicings and ceiling roses – particularly in the building’s main lobby area.
