Modern home in quiet setting

RED-BRICK Georgian-style, the detached houses at Kingsford in Cork hit a certain style button for those who like their homes with a bit of balance and symmetry.

Built in the 1980s, with maturity now all around the houses and their central green area, the estate off the Grange Road in Grange Heights is a quiet spot, ideal for children to play around in.

House sales are pretty rare here, given that there’s only a couple of dozen houses in all in Kingsford. The last public sale here was in 2003, when No 1 went up at €430,000.
