Good value in this spacious family home

NOT too much money would be needed to bring No 39 in Glanmire’s Richmond Estate bang up to date, says its selling agent.

The 20-year-old Co. Cork house was built big for its time, with about 2,400 sq ft of space on a site of a third of an acre — not bad for an ‘estate’ house.

In fact, no 39 was built as a one-off at the time, even though many others in Richmond were done by a single builder, says Mark Kelly of Lisney, who has warmed to this comfortable family home, with a €700,000 price tag.
