The only way is up for the new owner of this desirable home

THIRTY years old, and maybe now ready to grow up by another floor, is the Model Farm Road Cork home Shelton, up for sale with a €500,000-plus price guide.

Attractively 1960s in style, but built in 1972 to a design by architect Kevin O’Reilly, it has been in the same family’s caring hands since 1978.

It is flat-roofed, in the architectural style of the day, and has up to 2,000 sq ft of living accommodation, including three/four bedrooms, but new owners may be looking upwards at the chance of putting on an upper floor.
