Buyers will make tracks to see this illustrious ‘Across the tracks’ home

“ACROSS the Tracks” is the unusual name for a big family home in the Glounthane region of east Cork... close enough to walk in just a few minutes to a commuter rail link back to the city.

And, in keeping with the rail motif, the barbecue area in this unusual offering is a miniature Puffing Billy, a recreation of an old railway steam engine up on top of the barbecue as a cooking vent.

Vendor is businessman Martin O’Neill, who owns the nearby bustling Fitzpatrick’s shop (now 65 years in business) is selling up.
