The construction of Fairfield Terrace began in 1933. It was the second scheme of social housing built in Clonakilty following the foundation of the Free State under the Housing Act of 1931. Clearance Orders were issued under the act which condemned the housing on Lamb Street (Larkin Street today), upper reaches of McCurtain Hill, Patrick Street and Old Chapel Lane as unfit for habitation. These houses had developed as weaver’s cottages with the thriving linen industry from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century but were totally inadequate by the 1930s. Whole communities were uprooted for new beginnings with the first occupants of Fairfield Terrace coming from Lamb Street and Old Chapel Lane. Clonakilty is a popular residential, market and award-winning tourist town that attracts families interested in taking advantage of the fine facilities and amenities including excellent Schools, Shops, Pubs, Restaurants, Cinema along with the various Sports and Community Groups within the town. The property is convenient to Inchydoney Beach and the many coastal offerings throughout West Cork. Clonakilty is 50 kilometres south west of Cork City and Airport.
