House of the week

PEACE comes dripping slow, in a greened-in garden setting like that at Bruaidhenabarra. Watching apple blossoms cascade to the ground over an Easter weekend, while blackbirds sing in the half acre of gardens might inspire one to poetry — or at least rob a few of WB Yeats’ lines to perk up some property description prose for a rather special Cork suburban home.

And, there is indeed something special about this house with the hard-to-spell name: it’s down to the space it occupies in locally-favoured Menloe Gardens, off the city’s Blackrock Road, and the promise it brings with it.

It is for sale with agent Dennis Guerin of Frank V Murphy & Co with a guide price around €750,000.
