Douglas home is a solid foundation for growing family

Tommy Barker visits Limetrees Road.    

There’s a good-sized, wedge-shaped, mature and colourful back garden with No 4 Limetrees Road, in a lovely, leafy, setting between Cork’s Rochestown Road and Maryborough Hill, all on the edge of Douglas village.

Facing south in front, and backing onto the large gardens of some of the Rochestown Road’s classic ‘mansions,’ the detached No 4 Limetrees Road, also called Quinville, has been a family home for decades. It’s now for sale with Dennis Guerin of Frank V Murphy & Associates, who guides at €475,000.
