Scheme gets a classical makeover

A CLASSICAL Victorian architectural style has been chosen for a small scheme of just eight homes, to be built by a Norman castle tower and a 18th century Martello Tower - and within earshot of chattering monkeys and roaring lions.

Developer Joe Neville & Co are to build eight 2,400 sq ft detached houses at Belvelly Bridge near Fota Estate and wildlife park.

The small development, just over Belvelly Bridge from Fota and on Great Island, will be one of the very few upmarket developments of detached houses east of Glounthaune and Cork city, says estate agent Andrew Moore, acting jointly with Colliers Jackson Stops.
