Ideal location in growing satellite town

THE family house at 17, Glenwood in Cork’s Carrigaline satellite town grew with its charges down the years, and now has up to 1,800 sq ft of space within its end-of-row setting.

The 1970’s-built semi has a very large garden area, and the house has four bedrooms, a converted garage and an over-size conservatory with double doors leading to the lounge.

The kitchen area is a long space, which links into a dining room and TV room: it keeps family together at meal times, but could easily be separated back to two or three distinct rooms, notes city-based estate agent Gerry Owens who seeks €325,000 for this Carrigaline home with a west-facing back garden and lots of attic storage.

Carrigaline is near the sea and beaches at Croshaven/Fountainstown/Myrtleville, and is going through a second rapid phase of expansion. Its new residential growth is targeted to the far side of the town and a €100 million new mixed use town centre scheme is being proposed.

“Glenwood Estate set down an early quality marker in Carrigaline, rarely if ever surpassed,” said Mr Owens.
