Magical Lough a bonus for Fairy Lawn buyer

THE Lough is – or was – Cork city’s very own Swan Lake, and now a house a short waddle from the wildfowl sanctuary has come up for sale at Fairy Lawn.

The mysterious spate of deaths of dozens of swans, put down to a virus, focused national attention on the Lough, one of Cork’s most loved amenities, and reminded locals of just how attractive it can be.

Now on the market is the three-bedroomed detached house Locmor, just off the Lough Road in the pretty and winsomely named cul de sac Fairy Lawn: its gardens give sneak views of the Lough over the neighbours’ hedges.
