Would Gleann Bui tempt you to go the whole way at the Halfway?

Tommy Barker finds a well-finished end-townhouse in an ideal village setting

Glass half full, or glass half empty? A question you better get used to if you opt to live at the fine, well-finished end-townhouse at 1 Gleann Bui.

Built around the mid 2000s, the stone-faced home is in the middle of Halfway, Ballinhassig. Is half way neither here nor there? Not really, it’s a village community where locals will tell you they’ve the best of both worlds, just off the main Cork-Bandon road, and halfway between the city and Kinsale, with easy access also to Carrigaline and harbour industries, and over the brow of the long shoulder of east-west running hills if needs towards other major employers like Brinny or EMC out in Ovens.
