Trading up: Farran, Cork

On a visit, it’s easy to see how this house got its name — it’s called An Radharc, and yes, indeed, it has got some long-range views.
Up above the Cork-Macroom road by Currahaly, Farran, a short spin out from Cork City and major Ballincollig employers like EMC and VMWare, this is a home for modern family living. Twin high-speed ISDN lines/broadband, power showers, split level interior, five bedrooms and over 3,300 sq ft internally, in a top-build quality to a design by architect James Leahy — and all on a half-acre landscaped site.
