The Meadows offers spacious rural living at right price

THE Meadows is going to appeal to a certain type of buyer – those who prefer wide open spaces to semi-detached, city living.

The upside of that choice is that you get a lot of greenery and fresh air – the downside is that you spend a lot of time in the car.

However, the difference in value is immense – particularly in the case of this house at Inchirahilly, Farnanes, which is just off the N22, the main Cork/Killarney road.
