A walk-in home that will sell itself

SELLING 26 Fernwalk, a detached house with large back gardens and pristine interior, will be easy as pie for estate agent Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald. Once she gets viewers in the door, the place will practically sell itself.

The 2,250 sq ft house on the Killumney road, just west of Cork city near Ballincollig, has just about everything families trading-up might want, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, a spick and span decor including some funky mosaic work in the kitchen, and lots of garden with a favoured westerly aspect behind.

And, to cap it all, the Ballincollig by-pass which runs alongside puts it on a highway to the city, tunnel and points beyond. Price guide is €550,000 and it will probably go that and more in bids.
