Tommy Barker visits Limetrees Road.    

There’s lots and lots to like at Southwinds, or house No 3 on Limetrees Road, just east of Douglas village, off Rochestown Road.

WHICH do you want, house or site? A four-bed semi in leafy Limetrees Road in Cork’s Maryborough, carries a €580,000 asking price, is likely to be extended but, the selling agent has a site around the corner for roughly the same money as a re-done 25 Limetrees Road might cost.

DETACHED houses around the corner are making €1.2 million a pop, so the €600,000 guide on Ashleigh looks manageable by comparison.

THEY are not so much coming down from hills as coming down from Maryborough Hill, to land hopefully at Limetrees Road.
