River views make green belt gem a woodland wonder

THIS is one of the most surprising houses in the Daffodil Fields estate and it’s all down to the site. Number 25 is located at the end of this western, Cork city estate and has stunning views over the Lee valley, at Carrigrohane.

The garden runs on to the edge of a steep, wild valley with the river curving below and the view is protected, as the land surrounding the river is zoned “amenity” and will form part of a public walkway in the future.

This is contingent on McInerney Homes, who are building nearby, and have to create the space as a condition of planning.
