Soprano sells home with links to the family

CARA O’Sullivan is moving on — the soprano is hitting the high road, rather than the usual high notes and is selling her family home on the Old Blackrock Road in Cork.

With the diva's busy work schedule, the large 1930's house is too big for her needs, now that family circumstances have changed and the five-bedroomed, detached house is just on the market this week with Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing and Associates.

Built to last, Cloncorban House is a generously proportioned two-storey with huge, double bays on either side to make the most of the south-facing aspect. It's a warm, family home with an immensely private back garden that's safe and secure, making it ideal for small children. It is guiding at €475,000.
