Quiet city setting for wired-up Avalon

AVALON has a sales trick up its sleeves — it is close to election-time canvassing proof.

A new-build home in Cork city’s Farranlea Park, it has electric access gates and several security cameras, making it impregnable to canvassing politicians for the forthcoming election.

At Avalon you’re in your private castle — and the name Avalon (from the Welsh for apple) is taken from Arthurian legend, as a place of sanctuary and healing.
