Trading up: Glanmire, Cork €550,000

Not all of the new house developments built in the boom were of the same-same design and quality.

While there was a lot of relatively homogenous stock churned out by the bigger, volume builders, some went a more individual route - Woodville is one of the latter.

Houses here were built around the retained old hardwood trees of the period house demesne at Woodville, near Glanmire by the back of the as-yet untouched Dunkathel House grounds.
