Low-cost heat and high-quality living in Lower Killeens

State-of-the-art Evergreen is a bounty for buyers, says Rose Martin.

WHERE do Cork’s northsiders go when they want to build? Northside, of course. Those descendants of the Old Irish who lived outside the city walls aren’t usually up for a three-bed in Rochestown — not unless they’re turncoats.

Which means all points north, east and west of Blackpool are self-build country for the native Leesiders. In Lower Killeens, there’s a quiet enclave of large, detached houses called Glen Springs and the house with the largest and most private site there is now up for sale.
