Model Farm Road, Cork, €365,000

If you could, somehow, squirrel away €1,000 a day, you’d have this detached family home all paid for in a year’s time: Its €365,000 asking price is a grand for ever day in the year. Wouldn’t it be grand?

Tucked away at the back of the Rossbrook development off Cork’s western suburban Model Farm Road is No 87, which overlooks the playing fields of near-neighbour Cork Institute of Technology.

The college is out of sight, and the house’s setting is within a quiet cul de sac, and beyond the playing pitches is the Curraheen River, with amenity walks along some of its length nearby, leading back towards the Lee Fields.
