High hopes for this dwelling which is a cut above the rest

YOU wind your way up to Silverlands, a 1970s style detached family home, up above the Tivoli dual carriageway heading east from Cork city.

The house is set up above the roadway, and reached from a lay-by access serving about four houses and then via a winding S-shaped serpentine drive.

It is a bright and spacious home with large windows, a southern aspect and large site. Once upgraded and modernised a bit more, it will continue to give good domestic service for decades to come.
