Almeda is a charming semi-detached period residence, beautifully positioned on an elevated site with panoramic views across Cork Harbour. Located on the highly desirable Lake Road in Cobh, this home offers rare privacy, generous gardens, and immense potential for sympathetic extension. Almeda benefits from private vehicular access to the rear and is not a protected structure, giving the new owner freedom to expand or renovate in keeping with the property’s timeless character. Lake Road is one of Cobh’s most sought-after addresses — a peaceful, elevated setting with easy access to the town centre, transport links, schools, and waterfront amenities.
