Terraced home with river’s edge charm

MENTION that there’s a good house for sale in Sunday’s Well in Cork, and people will immediately ask: “Is it one of the big ones that go down to the river?”

No, but 57 Sunday's Well does stretch down as far as the River Lee, with gardens rolling down 350 ft from the back door to the water's edge like some narrow grassy slalom course.

However, the house isn't one of the great residential classics typical of this chic and mature road, though it does have its charms and selling appeal.
