Three-storey hillside townhouse is ideal buy for young professionals

A RARE resale in The Crescent hits the market this week with a guide of €525,000.

The Farranlea Road scheme in Cork, which was designed by architect John Moorehead and developed by the O’Shea family of builders, is a niche mix of apartments and terraced houses. It’s also cheek by jowl with the magnificent new/old County Hall.

As the name suggests, this is a curved build on a cliff-edge site overlooking the Green River and the Carrigrohane Road. It is shortly going to be joined by an apartment scheme on the site of O’Shea’s former yard, by Oyster Developments, right next door.
