Ex-showhouse get experts’ vote

THE EXPRESSION ‘first up, best dressed’, applies to 1 Glencairn, in Cork’s Glanmire.

The house was bought eight years ago by Liam Casey and family, when they moved from Clare to Cork as Liam took up the post as regional director of Paul Construction. He bought the detached showhouse of the BrideView Developments scheme of 17 houses at Riverstown, Glanmire.

Now, he is building his own home, and has used architects Deady Gahan to design his one-off nearby.
