Smart stand-alone in Glenville

THE first re-sale in the small scheme of just 14 houses, says estate agent Donal Barry of No 9, is a smart stand-alone Glenville home in Glen Dule.

Architect-designed, and crisply finished, these detached 2,000 sq ft houses are about a 15 minute drive from Dunnes’ Ballyvolane and Cork city itself, and have rural views from the rear, down into a natural glen and the Bride river valley.

The vendors face a move from the quiet rural and village life setting for family reasons (they grew up too quickly and moved out, leaving them with too much space), back to the nearby city, hence its sale just a few years after completion. It is in walk-in, ship-shape order, guided at €520,000 by joint agents Barry Martin & Kennedy, Fermoy, with DNG Kevin Condon in Cork’s Blackpool.
