City home at The Orchards on Glasheen Road ticks all the boxes

ALL tucked away in a cul-de-sac corner of The Orchards, off Cork city’s Glasheen Road is this large-ish family home, called Tuirín.

Dating to the mid 1900s, and later extended and invested in, it’s now a five-bed home of more than 1,825 sq ft, with a good balance between reception rooms and bedrooms, according to Sherry Fitz’s Johnny O’Flynn, who guides at around €500,000.

An added bonus is the site/setting, within the hideaway spot of The Orchards, with off-street parking in front, a wide back garden in lawn fringed by old orchard walls, and a raised deck section to the back, wrapping along the back wall of the house on its slightly stepped site.
