Prized property in Menloe Gardens overlooks green

THINGS are starting to get a bit busy at Menloe Gardens in Cork’s Blackrock suburb with a second house up for sale in as many weeks — and that’s after a hungry gap of two years, or so.

Billy Casey of Casey and Kinsgston is selling ‘Brookleigh,’ a five bedroomed, semi-detached house overlooking the green in Menloe Gardens and he’s given this prize property a guide price of €900,000.

The ‘leighs and ‘hursts’ of Menloe with their Anglo-Saxon end names are all indicative of the place and time, and architecturally they are that very Surrey of styles: Domestic Revival.
