Waterfall bungalow with splendid gardens offers proximity to the city

IT’s not often you get a long run of old stone boundary wall with a country property, but it’s an extra with this house at Ballyleigh, Waterfall in Co Cork.

The gardens are the thing here and they include a stone patio and terraces.

Although four miles from Ballincollig, this is not technically the country but the natural extension of the Bishopstown suburbs.

“This 1970s bungalow will appeal to traders-up who can’t get a site west of the city to build on for love nor money,” says Barry Nagle of Global Properties.

It has a price guide of just under €400,000 and about 1,700 square feet of space.

And as an encouragement for those looking to make the leap upward, Barry Nagle suggests those selling four-bed semi’s in Ballincollig could expect to get around €260,000 or in and around €220,000 for a three-bed. He would, of course, be prepared to sell those too.

This bungalow with Global Properties is ready to move into and space includes a large sitting room, living room (both with gas fireplaces), kitchen, dining room, utility and four bedrooms, one with an en-suite plus main bathroom.

The site has great country views to the back and there are all main services, a detached garage and it comes has oil heating and PVC double glazing.
