Hidden gem with rail and road access near city

NOT too many people know about the small enclave of old period homes in North Esk, just east of Cork city.

There’s a rail line close to hand, and the new N25 Euro route east whizzes cars and trucks past this hidden triangle that seems to have left the outside world behind.

Up for sale with local Glanmire agent Don Murphy is 3 North Esk, a three-bed 19th century home with lots of space, and which, he says, is almost a detached property - it is joined to its neighbour just by the kitchen annexe.
