CLOSE the gate, go down the steps, and the bustling world is a remove away from Vista Villa — a Montenotte, Cork, home with an apt name.

The house is set below the road level on the Middle Glanmire/Montenotte Road beyond the country club, within walking distance of the city, in a venerable residential suburb.

Vista Villa has large, terraced south-facing gardens running down and away from the house, and with its 1,950 sq ft of space it carries a price guide of €480,000 with agent Valerie Parkes of Sherry FitzGerald.
