Perfect location for small cottage set amid mature greenery in city

A GREENED-IN hideaway site comes with the compact cottage, Woodley Lodge.

What this two-bed might lack in size stakes it makes up for in terms of location, built on the Douglas village end of Cork’s affluent Rochestown Road.

At one time a gate lodge for the main house Woodley (that bigger affair was at one-time home of former Ford Ireland, and later on Waterford Crystal boss, Paddy Hayes) the lodge is a mid-1900s built, held on a long lease with about 200 years to run.
