New kid in a venerable setting

Turners Cross, Cork €240,000

Welcome to the new kid on the block — No 30A Derrynane Rd is a bit of a novelty, a new-build home, in a venerable early 20th-century suburban setting at Cork’s Turner’s Cross.

Tall, and delightfully odd in its layout, this very environmentally friendly 1,500 sq ft home is a mere six years old, but already its active young family with two children, and a passion for gardening and veg growing are yearning for more space. Into allotment gardening and the great outdoors, they’re moving to the country and huge gardens.
