The Orchards can be apple of your eye

EVEN with the towering Section 50 student blocks of Eden Hall just up the road, The Orchards in Inchigaggin Lane, Co Cork is a quiet little backwater on the rim of the city.

These houses were on the pricey side when they hit the market four years ago, but now that they’ve matured, you can see why the site commanded a premium. Just off a country lane between the Model Farm and Carrigrohane roads, there are only a few exclusive houses in this section of Cork’s Green Belt.

Just on the autumn market, No 7, The Orchards is a two-bed, end-of-terrace house with a guide price of €300,000 through Stephen Clarke of McKenna O’Donoghue Clarke.
