Old-world elegance in Cork’s St Lukes

Catherine Shanahan admires a period home in a well-serviced area that’s only minutes from Cork centre.

Radiating old-world elegance, 6 Knocklaun above Cork city’s St Luke’s Cross will draw buyers with a yen for both a period home and city living.

The encaustic tile hallway and ornate plaster arch show previous owners had a grá for an older era, evident throughout the house where original fireplaces are a feature of most rooms, including a fine family room with superb bay window to the front of the house for views (pic above).
