House of the week

This four-bed home is one of eight similarly sized large detached homes, tucked away at the end of the Bradley Brothers Fernwood. The early 2000s scheme is in Doughcloyne, between Wilton and Togher, and a couple of minutes spin to the ring road down Sarsfield Rd, with the shopping centre and Cork University Hospital just beyond the almost completed congestion-relieving flyover.
Fernwood was built on land below Lehenaghmore, around an old, charming farmhouse/cottage cluster with 300-year-old buildings called Feirm Bawn, which was kept back from the land development sale to Bradley’s in a bid to retain its integrity.
