Bird’s-eye view of the city from executive-style home

HIGH up on Lehanaghmore in Cork, The Gates has a great vantage point: not only is it five minutes from the Wilton roundabout, but it has an eagle-eye view of the city from its western perch.

The residential scheme has some big houses, not least number 20, The Gates, which is now on the market with Jeremy Murphy of Jeremy Murphy and Accociates.

With gleaming cherrywood floors and a range of rooms, the property is properly described as ‘executive style’ by the agent, who gives this classic two-storey a guide of €850,000.
