Old school house could be your new home

THERE’S only so much time left to go to school through the fields at the Old School House on Church Hill in Glanmire.

Cork city's ripples are slowly but steadily coming out towards Church Hill, while the original village of Glanmire has grown exponentially, in leaps and boundaries. Examples? Developers Frinailla were recently refused planning for a low-density housing scheme nearby, but the land is zoned, while McInerneys have acquired a considerable land bank a few miles away on the road back to the city and north ring road.

Dating back to 1889, this tasty former school house ended its school days in 1972, and was converted subsequently to a full-time residence.
