House of the week

There’s been a string of Sold! signs shoot up along Cork’s main Douglas road, among other similar older suburbs, where convenience is king and the city’s a walk away.

Now, a suddenly-rare For Sale sign has sprung up among the Sold ones, and it’s No 2 Fernwood, a mid-terraced period dormer home of sheer quality from the entrance gates in.

And, it just gets better as it goes on.
