Exceptional decor, lovely home

IT’S hard to tell that the owners of this period house have two small children running around, it’s so perfect.

With these big old Victorians on the northern heights of Cork city you can see the good, the bad and the ugly, but this is one of the beautiful ones.

You’d never thinks it’s over 100 years old as it feels new. Smooth walls, replacement, but salvaged floors, perfect plasterwork and soft, muted colours all combine to give the visitor that aaah feeling. Relaxing and comfortable - and impressive.
