Description
Robin Hill House is a truly magnificent Victorian period property, perched in an elevated position in Rushbrooke, Cobh, with commanding southerly views over Cork Harbour. Designed in 1866 by renowned architect Henry Hill for the distinguished Rushbrooke family, this Grade II listed Heritage residence encompasses all the elegance and grandeur of the Victorian era, with fine proportions, exquisite period detailing, and a timeless charm that has been carefully preserved through generations. Set on a generous 2,429 sq.m. (0.6 acre) plot, the residence extends to c. 498 sq.m. (5,360 sq.ft.), offering extensive and versatile accommodation. Originally the Rushbrooke family home until the 1950s, the property later served as a Church of Ireland Rectory before moving into private ownership. Over the years, it has evolved from an upmarket guesthouse and fine dining restaurant to its current role as a holistic healing centre with an award-winning guesthouse, operated with great success by the present owners since 2005. Tastefully restored and sensitively maintained, Robin Hill House remains in superb condition, retaining many of its original features while meeting modern standards of comfort and hospitality. The property offers immense flexibility for a discerning purchaser—whether as a continuation of the thriving guesthouse business, a luxurious private residence, conversion to apartments, or further development opportunities. Location Highlights Cobh – a picturesque maritime town steeped in history and culture. Cork Harbour – panoramic harbour views with access to sailing, water sports, and fishing. Cork City – just 30 minutes to Cork International Airport and city amenities. Transport links – rail and bus connections to Cork City, plus a nearby car ferry to Glenbrook. Robin Hill House presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Cobh’s most prestigious heritage homes, combining historical significance, commercial potential, and a truly spectacular setting.
Accommodation
The accommodation at Robin Hill House is substantial and highly adaptable, offering a rare combination of period grandeur and modern flexibility. The main house provides six generously proportioned en-suite bedrooms, complemented by a series of elegant reception rooms that showcase the property’s Victorian heritage, alongside a spacious and functional kitchen designed to meet the needs of both family living and hospitality use. Beyond the main residence, the property includes a stylishly refurbished two-bedroom apartment which introduces a contemporary twist, ideal for use as a private rental, guest quarters, or staff accommodation. In addition, a charming self-contained one-bedroom wooden chalet, complete with galley kitchen and bathroom, offers further versatility—perfect as an independent guest suite, retreat space, or supplementary income stream. Collectively, the accommodation blends historical character with modern-day convenience, making it equally suited to private residential use, boutique hospitality, or mixed-use living.
