Limerick Council trials zero‑gravity mower to boost biodiversity
Limerick City and County Council has completed a trial of a zero‑gravity mowing machine aimed at improving biodiversity…

9 Janeville on Blackrock Road, Cork, is on the market for €1.45 million and features its own putting green in the back garden.
The detached four‑bedroom house was built in 1976 and has been reconfigured and modernised several times, now achieving a solid B energy rating. Recent upgrades include bi‑fold doors in the kitchen that open onto the garden and smaller bi‑fold windows in the west‑facing front bay.
An attic‑level conversion has increased the living space to 331 sq m, providing three lounges, an office, a large open‑plan kitchen/dining area with an Aga stove, and four double bedrooms with an additional two attic rooms and a bathroom.
The property sits within a 21‑home estate where Nos 20 and 21 sold for €1.52 million in 2025 and €1.25 million in 2022. The house was originally bought new for £72 k and changed hands for €825 k in 2004, the same agency now handling the current sale.
Local amenities include the primary school at Crab Lane (350 m), secondary schools a short drive away, Ballintemple village with shops and cafés, and nearby leisure options such as Ballinlough Pitch and Putt Club (1.1 km) and Mahon Golf Course (3.3 km). The Blackrock‑Passage Greenway and Marina Promenade are also close.
