Woodland setting meets timber cladding at trim Glanmire home

Tommy Barker admires a substantial architect-designed home near flourishing Glanmire just minutes from Cork city.

CAN it really be the case that there hasn’t been a resale for six or seven years past, at the stylish The Avenue section of Woodville, above and just east of Glanmire, on the commutable edges of Cork city?

Designed by Wilson Architecture back in the early- to mid-2000s, Woodville had over 50 new-builds ranged around a period 1800s Georgian grand home, which was itself converted into apartments, plus courtyard homes, in one of the decade’s more elegant schemes of contemporary design in the greater Cork region.
