Home with a view comes with bonus granny flat

HIGH up on the hills overlooking the wide plains of Cork's river Lee at Carrigrohane is this decidedly architectural property at Templehill.

This steep neighbourhood might be remembered as the place where Roy Keane once went a-viewing and as an address, it's as elevated as it's geography. The area has a number of large residences, and a surprisingly high density of architect, owner-occupiers.

Like the rest of the green belt, planning is restricted, so prices are directly affected and also pushed up by demand from medics and academics.
