Substantial residence in grand old neighbourhood

A GRAND old house in a grand old neighbourhood is number 8, Ardevin on Connaught Avenue, Cork, which is now being sold out of family hands after two generations.

The house it a substantial five-bed, according to Jennifer Bermingham of Noelle Morrison and Associates, and has been completely renovated over the last few years.

It’s still got its high ceilings, beautiful fireplaces and hand-forged railings, but it has a kitchen extension, ensuite master bedroom and Jacuzzi in the main bathroom.
