Demonstrating the principle of ‘build it and they will come,’ the Woodville development in Glanmire couldn’t have been better placed for the newly ‘built’ greenway.

And if the family at No 8 The Courtyard — parents, Paudie and Bernie, and three young children — are anything to go by then bikes and small hikes are the way to go.

This 2005-built three-bed terraced home was bought in 2014 and has been upgraded inside and out since then.

One key addition was the large, (approx €3.5k) wood-burning stove in the living room.

“With the layout of the house, the stairs rises directly from the living room, so the stove pretty much heats the whole house,” notes Paudie.

Another upgrade was creating an inviting patio at the back of the house. Raised sleeper beds and mature trees and shrubs make a real private oasis vibe here — it works for quiet elevenses as well as children’s playtime.

Woodville actually does feature many trees and there are also woods walks near Dunkettle House.

“Our kids are at an age now where they have friends calling and there are green areas and great places to play.

“It’s lovely that the landscaping here worked with so many mature trees and there’s great space here.”

The family is moving to a bigger site at Little Island so this 103 sq m home is on the market for €370k.

The bright open-plan kitchen dining at the back has double glass doors opening directly to the back garden.

And two of the three bedrooms upstairs are doubles. The main one also has its own bathroom and has a post corner window giving dual direction natural light.

There’s a clever use of windows here with high-level windows on the landing and in the main bathroom bringing light in without losing valuable wall space.

Families or would-be families eyeing this property will be delighted to know that Gaelscoil Uí Drisceoil is a short bike or scooter spin along the Greenway.

It’s also about five minutes’ drive to Coláiste an Phiarsaigh secondary school.

And it’s a brisk walk or a short car journey into Glanmire with playzones, a garage, childcare facilities, shops and cafes, notes agent Paul Fenton of Sherry FitzGerald.

“You’ve got excellent connectivity from this beautifully presented home... easy access to the city centre, the South Ring Road network and the M8 motorway.”
