Elevated, immaculate and very impressive

Tommy Barker extols the virtues of a period home whose quality is way ahead of many modern houses.

IT’S hard to find fault with this Herbert Park house, a lofty Cork home just a downhill slalom to the city centre via Gardiner’s Hill, St Luke’s Cross and Summerhill north or St Patrick’s Hill.

The large period, pristine Edwardian has gardens as smart as the interior, the family home has buckets of space inside and out, and the condition is immaculate. In short, it is a home worth climbing the hills for, crossing to river to reach, or switching cities for.
