Village living for a family

IF TRADING up to a four bed home in Cork's western suburbs is on the cards, then a property on Model Farm Road may fit the bill. No 6 Chelmsford Village, located in a cul-de-sac, has a guide price of €410,000.

Accommodation consists of a hallway, drawing room, dining room, family room, kitchen and conservatory downstairs, with four bedrooms and master en suite, overhead.

There are marble fireplaces and matching hearths in both the drawing room and the family room, while the kitchen is fully fitted.

Properties on sale at Model Farm Road are generally snapped up pretty swiftly given the area’s maturity. The location is good for families with young children as all major amenities are close by, according to auctioneer Billy Casey, of Casey and Kingston.

All of the bedrooms upstairs have a range of built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is fully tiled with a bath and a separate instant shower cubicle.

A walled in south facing garden is laid out in grass lawn, with flowerbed borders and a patio area.

To the front of the home there is a hedged in garden with ornamental trees, shrubs, and flowerbeds, and there’s a garage to the side.
