House in mature terrace escaped flood devastation

Bridgemount, Western Road, Cork on the market for €345,000.

IT didn’t flood. To the massive credit of Bridgemount, on Cork’s Western Road, while all around it was hit by damning floods last November, houses in this mature terrace kept their feet dry.

Having survived the worst-ever flood to hit Cork city, and which devastated UCC property in front and behind, an extra few feet of slight elevation was the saving of this genteel inner-suburban row.
