Home in Cork's Thornbury Heights is the right vintage

The vendors of the family home Estoril, just off Cork’s Rochestown Road in Thornbury Heights, have been in situ at this Mc Inerney-built four-bed semi-d since it was first built in 1985: in fact, they were the very first people to move into either end of this Thornbury development, thirty years ago.

Now, they are moving on, and the 1,365 sq ft home is fresh to market in the past two weeks with James G Coughlan & Associates, who guide it at €360,000.

Estoril, aka No 7 Manor Dene, is in the initial, lower entry section of Thornbury Heights, and feels as much like it’s a set-back on the Rochestown Road as being part of an estate. Thornnbury rises in two distinctly accessed sections up towards Coach Hill to the south, with low stone wall and green strip between houses and the road in this cul de sac niche.
