A cut above the normal semi

IT only takes a little tweaking to lift a three-bedroom semi above the norm. Take Castle Meadows, for instance.

This estate, with views over Cork harbour, was built by Coleman Brothers, who included an integrated conservatory in the original specifications, an extra which gives huge impact and is a strong selling point.

Secondly, they built the estate on a greenfield site in Blackrock only minutes from the Mahon Point Shopping Centre and the South Ring network. It’s also well served by two bus routes — one to the city centre and the other via Douglas/Cork University Hospital/CIT.
