Trade up and enjoy a large home with its own stream

AS a family trader-up home, Brook Lodge has a lot going for it. The 2,250 sq ft dormer home is in Ballyburden, in popular Waterfall, just a few minutes' drive from Cork's western suburbs.

Access to the city and all main routes has been made easier with the opening of the last, vital stage of the Ballincollig bypass.

Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald guides this three/four-bed quality home at €645,000, which puts the 9% stamp duty burden on to this one-acre property.
