THE new-builds at Woodville created a bit of a design stir this year. Now, callers to the Courtyard, a new phase around the original period Woodville House, will want to know if the same standard has been matched.

FRESH new house designs, but a return to an architectural feature from the past, the stair return, distinguish the new homes launched this weekend in The Beeches, Woodville, a mile from the Jack Lynch Tunnel in Cork.

SOMETHING a bit different, say the selling agents for Woodville - and they’ll soon have callers aplenty to vouch for it.
