Bun Glaise scheme pitched at right price

THE price is “just shy of €300,000” say the selling agents for a new Ballyvourney Gaeltacht area scheme of 14 new semis. But, at €299,500 a pop, the level is so close to ‘shy’ of that figure it is almost blushworthy.

Due to be completed by St Patrick’s Day, the new 1,250 sq ft homes near the Cork-Kerry border are being built by John F Supple Ltd, the long-established contracting firm, in one of their first residential forays west of the city.

Its compact Ballyvourney scheme Bun Glaise (the foot of the hill) has 14 three-bed semis with scope to add a further 300 sq ft in the tall pitched attic roof space, thanks to a design by Coughlan DeKeyser architects.
