After just a week or two on the market, this dormer home – one of seven at Corryfield a mile from Glounthaune east of Cork City – is already attracting attention. So says sale agent Brian Olden of Cohalan Downing.

He describes it as impressive, with an unusual and flexible open plan layout into the hallway with feature curved staircase, and early viewers seem to like it.
