Tommy Barker has a grand view of an elevated lodge in south Cork and on a fine day could see the hills of Kerry

YOU are Lord, or Lady, of all you survey up on the ridge a mile inland from the sea at Moanroe Lodge, a place where the owners went large on the amount of space.Location is in south Co Cork, four miles from Carrigaline towards Minane Bridge; the sea inlet at Fountainstown is just about a mile away; Cork city is 11 miles off.

It is a recently-built house that cries out for a telescope in the sun room or poking out through an upstairs window, given the views surrounding it.
