Check out this beautiful home overlooking Cork's Marina

Tommy Barker takes a short stroll from Cork city centre to visit an attractive, substantial home overlooking the Marina.

We’re a mile from Patrick’s Street, says the woman of the house, noting the absolute convenience of her all-upgraded suburban home’s setting.

We’re at 2, Ashtonville, a fully redone semi-detached home and, almost by serendipity, we’ve arrived on foot, coincidently proving the point of this home’s easy accessibility: we’re talking the city end of the Blackrock Road, just beyond Ashton school and Kennedy Park.
