Trading Up: Model Farm Road €400,000

Lots of boxes get ticked at the family home called Trelawne, in a top Cork suburban location — it’s on the Model Farm Road.

Not only is the setting first rate, but the back is west-facing, looking over tillage fields just to the west of CIT’s sports campus and playing fields.

There’s been a green belt designation out here for decades, between Bishopstown and Ballincollig, although a new Science Park has been mooted for this hinterland since 2008.
