Luxury kitchen an added bonus

SOME people pay tens of thousands of euro for a quality kitchen, and budgets have been known to soar over €100,000 for real quality jobs.

One of the better known names in hand-built kitchens, Linehan Designs, has been installed in the unlikely surrounds of 225 Blarney Street in Cork city: the cost of some of Leo Linehan’s best kitchens today would top what you could have bought run down cottages for here just a few short years ago.

Now, bought a while ago as a gut job, no 225 Blarney Street is a fully renovated, compact terraced city cottage, done up by a member of the Linehan family and so has been fitted out with a quality hand-painted kitchen in its open plan ground floor lay-out.
