House of the Week: Stunning views and gardens in Glounthaune home

With beautiful views and a beautiful garden Trish Dromey, checks out this Glounthaune on a hill. 

SET on a hilltop above Glounthaune, this spacious Tudor-style property offers marvellous views across the harbour as well as large, professionally landscaped gardens which come spring, are set to fill up with colourful blooms.

The attractive four-bed house is one of around 30 or so one-off detached properties with large gardens built at Tower Hill during the 1990s. After they had built it, the owners brought in the late Brian Cross, one of Cork’s best known garden designers who lived in the area, to give shape and colour to their almost one acre site.
