Trading up: Glanmire, Co Cork €450,000

This detached, four-bed house, No 1 Glyntown Road, Marwood, in Glanmire, has much to impress trader-uppers around Cork: it has space, gardens, electric gates and a hilly site with views back to the city.

One of a development of 12 detached houses on Glyntown Road, it’s new to the market for €450,000. Selling agents, Kevin Barry Auctioneers, say the 2,022 sq ft home has been beautifully maintained and is in show-house condition.

“It’s in a sought-after location, within a short walk of Glanmire village and is close to shops, a primary school and all amenities,’’ says Kevin Barry.
