The best of old and new

YOU get ‘all the fruit’ thrown in, at Glebe House Gardens, an upmarket niche townhouse scheme behind the architectural timepiece Emmet Square, in West Cork’s Clonakilty.

An original acre of overgrown gardens behind the restored Glebe House, in the corner of the Georgian square has been tamed, but not compromised, in a new homes scheme being launched this weekend.

The landscaping, preserving the original trees and with later additions, sees apple, pear and plum trees put into communal areas.
