Easy modern living with intelligent use of space and green credentials

JUST three of these large detached homes in Upper Glanmire, Cork, are being built and one remains to be sold at a guide price of €615,000 through Donal Collins of Global Properties.

They may be big houses at 2,340 sq ft, but The Meadows credentials are solidly green: all three houses use geothermal heating along with solar panels, and the insulation is higher than regulations.

Also, this Ros Ard scheme is equipped with future-home technology and come with other extras, along with natural slate roofs.
