Glorious garden with suburban home

THE site is the key at 23 Allendale - it's a whopper.

Up for sale in one of the quieter corners of the Melbourn estate in Cork's settled suburban Bishopstown, this four-bed detached home, for sale with ERA Downey McCarthy Murphy for a €430,000 price tag, has a corner site with a gloriously mature back garden.

The site is 140' deep, and 60' wide, and planting on and around it includes ash, copper beech, pines, palms and ornamental shrubs.
