A spacious home in the suburbs with its eye on local government

SOLID and sound, with a spacious interior and a sweet back garden and views of Cork’s County Hall to the back craning over the trees - just some of the attributes of Glanarn, a family home up for sale on the city end of the Model Farm Road.

One of the first dozen attractive and varied homes along the road from Dennehy’s Cross and directly across the way from the copper domed church, Glanarn is a four-bed detached house of character.

It has attractive original early 1900s features such as high ceilings, some cornicing, brass door handles, serving hatch to the kitchen - and even an oil-fired Aga in the kitchen with clothes drying rack overhead.
