Harbour home has superior view

THE address sounds London-ish, but the location is pure Leeside, not Thames side.

No 2 Belgrave Place is a Victorian period terraced family home, in Glenbrook in Cork harbour, a place where the river views are paramount and the cross-river ferry to Great Island cris-crosses the tidal stretch with pendulum-like regularity.

Set high above the Passage West/Monksotwn road running through Glenbrook, the terrace backs into a steep east-facing hillside, so steep in fact the back garden goes up in terraces like base camps for wearying climbers.
