Tolca an inviting home

Beautifully tidy and freshly painted, this above-average detached property won’t be on the market for long, writes Tommy Barker.

YOU’D often know, from a house’s vintage, what to expect crossing the threshold: in the case of Tolca, in Cork’s Woolhara Park off the Douglas Road, you’d only be half informed.

The rooms are as you’d expect of the era — only spotless. Every inch inside is freshly painted, pure white, gloss and emulsion, and every floor is freshly re-carpeted, in shades of pale blue wool.
