Choice home with the rightcity address

THERE are a number of ‘good’ addresses in Cork city, and to be scientific about it, these can be broken down to their constituent parts which include estates, roads or rows.

Take for instance the Model Farm road, a locale that’s choice enough on its own, but add Bishopstown Park above the address line and you’re immediately up a notch in the status stakes.

This is a quiet little cul-de-sac of houses just opposite the Church of the Holy Ghost which could be described as having the stock broker belt feel. Like Menloe, on the Blackrock Road, these houses are Domestic Revival in style, although some were built as late as the 1950s. And they are all different, but all come with smart windows and doors and lush gardens that reach over high walls onto the road.
