Transformed gate lodge is ideal for long river walks

THIS former, red-brick gate lodge has been transformed into an attractive house.

On the rim of Cork county and in the protected green belt zone, the three-bedroomed house is now for sale through Con Dennehy of Property Choice for offers in excess of €450,000.

It overlooks the starting point for the Lee Fields walk and the upstairs living rooms are south-facing and have views over the river Lee. It’s almost in the country, but is still only a five-minute drive to the city centre.
