Landmark cottage that’s almost on De Banks won’t break the bank

LEEMOUNT COTTAGE has been a landmark at Leemount Cross west of Cork city for years.

The long, flat-roofed white structure hides a secret — its site. The one-bed is on a third of an acre site which runs down to the Martin river.

This tributary joins the Lee a few yards down, close to the Angler’s Rest pub, famous for its riverside gardens. The proposed new Northern Ring Road is earmarked to run close to Carrigrohane Castle.
