The real deal for wealthy high rollers

ROSANNA HOUSE is the epicentre of an oh so exclusive group of detached houses above the Lee Road in Cork city.

In fact, it makes the gated developments of today's brochures look limp-wristed by comparison: this is the real thing.

The winding driveway of the old house climbs above the tree line of the Lee Road and opens onto a wide pasture with a few unobtrusive driveways opening along its length.
