To the manor barn ...

ALL the hard work has been done here in delivering a “Grand Designs” type of one-off house, in a great woodland and stream-side setting.

But, now the family who’ve delivered this barn-storming design to its final, close-to-finishing stage have yet other, unexpected plans come along. Hence, the chance for another occupant to take on the last, and most pleasurable, final stages of work for just a bit of extra spending.

A brand new market arrival is Silversprings House, a dramatic and large take on the barn-shape and outline, beside the Glashaboy river above Glanmire and by Sallybrook, just east of Cork city.
