Smart home in the heart of the Lee Valley

YOU can see the dam, but not the reservoir, at Drom Siobhra, an architect-owned and re-worked home in Cork’s Lee Valley.

The smart 3,000 sq ft home, along with guest annexe, is on an acre of terraced and lawned grounds with stream near Inniscarra, upriver of Cork city.

The Curraleigh Inniscarra setting, in a tightly controlled and zoned area, will have an appeal to the masses who want to flee the city, but not go too far - and hence its €725,000 price guide quoted by Mark Kelly of Hamilton Osborne King.
