A country-style cottage with character in the heart of the city

SMALL parcel, but great goods - the city cottage Ivyleaf is a little bit of a head-turner. In fact, thanks to its high ceilings inside and its feature exposed beams, you can crane your neck as you turn your head all the way around.

Despite appearances, Ivyleaf is a brand-new build, but one done using lots of salvage materials, such as timbers and brick. The end result is character, but not corny.

The bungalow/cottage is at Carrigview, just off the Old Blackrock Road, opposite the South Infirmary Hospital, a five-minute walk to and from City Hall.
