Bask in the sun in this solid home

PITCHED squarely at the trading up market in Cork's western suburbs is Carrig, a solid, four-square and upgraded family home on a large site just off the popular Model Farm Road.

Location is at Minister's Cross, at the start of the Killumney Road by the turn to St Oliver's cemetery, and the newly opened Ballincollig bypass opens up new access options as well as restoring a bit more country road quiet to the setting.

Carrig, on the market with Michael O'Donoghue of McKenna O'Donoghue Clarke, has a €625,000 price guide, and comes with 1,800 sq ft of living space on a sizeable one-third of an acre site.
