On the waterfront

LEEHOLME, on the Sunday’s Well road, is so well hidden by its boundary wall that you have to be invited inside before you get an impression of the property.

It's one of a number of houses on the western end of the road which are unidentifiable from the front.

Take a stroll along the Mardyke side of the river Lee, however, and you get some idea why these are among the more desirable homes in Cork city.
