Here’s a place to sport and play for the boys and girls of Fairhill

The fairest of views can be had from this Shandon-view home, says Tommy Barker

Some of the fairest views of Cork city come from this family home at 35 Innishannon Road, off Fairhill. Its elevated northside setting, and rear southerly aspect gives it a breadth of views that would warm the heart of any Corkonian: you get to look down over leafy trees and rooftops to the spires of the North Cathedral and Shandon Steeple.

Not only that; but the big, secret surprise, is the size of the back garden, up to 100’ in all from the back of the house (some’s hidden by a hedge), which includes a sheltered patio/courtyard section.
