No 9 Glendule, has all the attributes to make it a lifetime commitment and you may not want to move, writes Tommy Barker.

NO 9 Glendule, in Cork’s Glenville, is price-pitched within the grasp of first-time buyers but could be a home for life, or at least for family rearing, with no pressure to trade-up in years to come.

In fact, it was a trade-up option for its owners in the early to mid 2000s, but all of sudden the nest is empty, offspring have moved out, and it is trade-down time with a back-to-city move beckoning.
