SOME homes don’t need much introduction: Dolphin Lodge is one of them. “The kids could literally cross the road to the yacht club,” says Lawrence Sweeney of Savills, who is handling the sale of Dolphin Lodge. Living space is at a premium at Dolphin Lodge. In fact Dolphin Lodge — positioned above the redbrick Gate Lodge leading to former Hoddersfield Estate — backs onto a site where two remaining large redbrick pillars that supported the railway bridge still exist. The guide price for this characterful and superbly sited home — just 6km from Carrigaline and 16km from Cork City — is €850,000.
