House of the Week: 250-year-old property with a view of Blackrock Castle and Glanmire

It's coming up on 250 years of age, and Riverside is still absolutely lovely. Set on the Castle Road in Cork’s Blackrock, in this increasingly regentrified Leeside setting, this wide, bow-fronted home has roots dating right back to the 1790s, making it one of the oldest, and most beguiling, homes in this select scenic stretch of narrow, cliff-hugging road and shoreline, ’twixt village and the iconic Blackrock Castle.
