On a third-of-an-acre site in A-list Cork city address

THIS old farmhouse seems an anachronism, surrounded as it is by a 1960s estate in an inner suburb of Cork city.

Above it are Shankiel and Knocknaheeny, with houses stretching all the way to the reservoir: the tower which marks one of the highest points in Cork.

Below are the Lee Fields, the Mardyke and University College Cork, and surrounding it are the fine houses of Shanakiel and Sunday's Well.
