Ewe’ve got to see it to believe it

SSSH, don’t tell the kids, but this family home has a hidden U-value. Or, a very special ewe-value at the very least.

Limited grazing rights come gratis at No 44 North Avenue, which is in a recent new development on the side of Cork’s Airport Hill, at Lehenaghmore’s Matthew Hill.

The vendors have a young family and just for the craic and a bit of imagination, are pulling the wool over the youngest offspring’s eyes. They keep a life-sized model lamb in the back garden, and move it around all the time to give the impression (from inside the patio doors, at least) that the sheep is alive and actually grazing in the garden.
