Living it large: substantial home is on the money

Threadneedle House, built in the 1990s in posh Moneygourney, is 3,800 sq ft on five acres, and is beautifully landscaped, Tommy Barker reports

ALL shipshape and Bristol fashion inside and out, this very large family home, has great gardens and an equestrian set-up — and the owners have military bearings.

Threadneedle House is quite the lifestyle package for southern families, just on the edge of Cork City, and is being sold because the couple (from Galway and Rosslare) who built it have grown children working abroad, and they have other places beckoning for themselves in sunny Alicante and Rosslare.
