House of the week: Glanmire, Cork

New homes prices starting from €247,000 for two-beds, and €295,000 for three-bed townhouses, are the immediate, stand-out points to note as the long-awaited €150m Ballinglanna, Cork scheme of 600 homes and services by the O’Flynn Group gets launched next weekend, from February 16.

Ballinglanna, on a hill immediately east of Glanmire village, is finally out of the traps with the first 40 homes, spanning six types, to be released in the first phase, the majority of them aimed at first-time buyers.
