House of the week

No 67 Fernwood has the signs of a happy, child-centred family home — and now its owners are upping sticks and trading up, taking on a far older house to do up, with even bigger gardens, in another Cork suburb. They have a bit of work ahead of them in their new project, but what they leave behind at No 67 is a walk-in job for its next occupants.

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.
