Rural cousin beats city costs

ONE thing is for sure, if you were to put this Templemary house closer to either Cork or Limerick city, you would get nothing like it for the price.

Almost equidistant between the two Munster cities, near Buttevant in Co Cork, this family home is a whopper, a full 5,500 sq ft of living space, all on a suitably-sized elevated site of 5.5 acres.

And, its owners say it is set so there are views to all the Munster counties: "We can see Waterford towards the east, and planes coming in to land in Shannon to the west," they note.
