At home with a country feel in the heart of suburbs

BACK on the market after its spring launch this year, Burlington, on the Douglas estuary in Cork, now carries a guide price of €850,000 through Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing.

The house is bounded in part by the Tramore river and at the bottom of the garden this rivulet meets the Douglas estuary.

Because it has such a country feel, it’s hard to believe that this property is in the centre of Douglas, one of the busiest suburbs of Cork. The calm is only disturbed by the white noise of the south link road a few yards up.
