It’s no tall order for this fine house on a hill to get interested buyers

IT’S not until you drive up that you get the full impact of Abbotswood, in Rochestown, Co Cork. The fact they climb up a hill adds to their impressive standing: these are big houses, even in the smaller types.

The last sale of the biggies here made over €1.3 million through Pierce Cuthbert of Property Choice and this time round, Grace McGlynn of the same firm is selling no 8 Abbotswood Downs.

Built by Fleming Construction, this fine house also has an attic conversion, but you’d hardly know it as the staircase continues up from the first floor in a seamless extension of the living space.
