Former tennis court serves up a treat on Model Farm Road

Tommy Barker says this example of contemporary design, at just 10 years old, benefits from a mature setting on Model Farm Road.

NOT only is there good space and floor area at this contemporary build called Dunmore House, there’s also considerable volume — you get cubic feet aplenty, as well as square feet, for your money.

Listed in winter months, but still super-bright internally thanks to acres of glazing and a south-west aspect, as a new sale offer with a €825,000 price tag is Cork’s suburban Dunmore House. It’s in the Hilton setting off the Model Farm Road, and named in honour of one of the owners’ birthplace, Dunmore in north Galway.
