Be cunning, take a look at Foxwood, a rare city site

A RARE city site is on market in Cork, at an affordable price.

Foxwood, St Luke’s Cross, was on and off the market through the 2000s, at one time rising up in price to more than €2.5 million, for a 4,000 sq ft house on a wooded almost two-acre site, plus orchard.

The 1960s-style Rohfab house with swimming pool was always a candidate to be knocked. Viewers didn’t warm to its ’60s character, and the site and development possibilities were always the key element. It eventually found a buyer, at an undisclosed yet substantial lower price level, and the buyer got planning for two large houses.
