THE purchaser of a 4.6 acre house development site next to Hilton on the Model Farm Road in Cork city’s suburbs has been confirmed as up-and-coming Munster builder Donal Relihan, of DNR Homes.

Tommy Barker says the substantial size of this Model Farm Road home is matched by its generous gardens.

It’s more sweetness and light, than briars, at the family home No 1, 1 Sweetbriar Lane, just at the very city end of the road into Ballincollig from the Poulevone Roundabout.

SET near the Irish Guide Dogs Association HQ on Cork’s Model Farm Road is this late 1990s family home par excellence, in a handily-reached location, from Ballincollig or Bishopstown, for buyers trading up.
