Live above the city but just a walk away

SOMETIMES old ways are best — so for those who hanker after a house instead of an apartment and still want to be city dwellers Ardpatrick holds out hope.

Almost incredibly, this 73-house development with spire-packed vistas not dissimilar to those in the 18th century John Butts' painting of Cork is within a kilometre of St Patrick's Bridge in Cork city.

The location in Lady's Well off Watercourse Road bounded by Assumption Road and Pope Road puts it on the transformed city centre/Blackpool corridor, an update on Butts.
