A touch of the Canadian effect

BUILT 27 years ago for a Canadian couple, Warrendale in Glounthane in Cork is also made of Canadian timbers, an early and well preserved example of timber-frame building.

The five-bed, 2,200 sq ft house is on the market with Carol Harris of Property Choice, who prices it at €495,000.

Location is a short drive out from Cork city, with new roads and the Jack Lynch tunnel really having opened up accessibility to this area.
