Bridgewater property on the market

ONE of the few estates in the country to open onto a busy roundabout, is Bridgewater at Carrigrohane, Co Cork. This newish estate overlooks the river Lee and Carrigrohane Castle while at the same time being just off the main Cork/Killarney road at the Poulavane roundabout.

Despite the busy junction, this has not interfered with house sales here and these detached properties at Bridgewater are usually snapped up within weeks. The good news for prospective purchasers is that in two years time, traffic outside the door should diminish considerably when the long-awaited Ballincollig bypass comes on stream.

Number one, Bridgwater is the last house on the left-hand side of the estate and fronts onto the main road but is guarded by high hedges. This gives it a large site with a mature tree boundary. Guided at €345,000 this isn’t the standard property, but one with a lot of extras. Top of the list would be the conservatory to the rear and the extra large bay window/extension on the other side.
