Starter Homes: One L of a detached two-bed in Upper Glanmire
No 6 Ros Árd, Upper Glanmire, Co Cork, priced at €265,000.
A dream home for a downsizer — No 6 Ros Árd in Upper Glanmire is a smart modern two-bed bungalow with a sunroom and a sheltered patio garden.
Guiding at €265,000, it’s new to the market with Garry O’Donnell of ERA Downey McCarthy who says he’s been inundated with viewing requests. “Built in 2005, this is a meticulously maintained property located within a 10-minute drive from the city centre.’’
At one side of the 750 sq ft bungalow, there’s a tiled L shaped kitchen living area that has a kitchenette with hand-painted cream units as well as a sitting room with a fireplace and a stove. An archway off the sitting room leads into a small sunroom used as a dining space.
The bungalow also has a modern tiled bathroom and two laminate floored bedrooms including one which is currently being used for watching TV.
Outside the sunroom, there’s a well laid out patio space used for outdoor dining which has a brick-built raised bed, timber trellises that match the grey shed, a water feature and lighting.
There’s also a yard and, at the other side of the property, a lawned garden enclosed by hedging.
One of a small number of detached bungalows in the cul de sac development, No 6 is located approximately 5km from Ballyvolane Shopping Centre and just over 7km from the city centre.

The main open plan living area has pale grey walls, white floor tiles flecked with grey, and a stylish modern kitchen with grey high gloss units. The living room section has a white fireplace and a large set of double doors.
In the hallway, there’s a guest WC and a set of stairs leading to the first floor where all the space is taken up by one extra-long en suite bedroom, which like the rest of the house is decorated in grey. Accommodation on the top floor includes a modern bathroom and two bedrooms, one with an en suite and an alcove space for a desk and one with a large feature window. On-street at the front, the property has a ground floor patio and two glass balustraded balconies at the rear.
Located in Riverstick village, it’s 17 km from Cork city and 10km from Kinsale. Mr Howard believes it’s stylish enough to wow both first-time buyers and investors.
