Well kept residential secret within reach of the city

This detached three-bed house in the quiet village of Carraig na bhFear is near to a range of local amenities and features rear decking, as well as a sunroom with underfloor heating.

IF you despair of getting value in the present market, then take a look at this property at 25, Carrig Well in Carraig na bhFear, just north of Cork city.

The leafy townland is home to the famous college but has seen very limited development of late. It’s a well kept residential secret and locals want it to stay that way. There was no extra ‘village centre’ zoning in the last county development plan.

So, buyers looking for quiet country life, but with amenities like good schools, shops and a swimming pool locally should take a look at no 25.

This detached three-bed is on the market at €400,000 through Paul O’Driscoll of Sherry FitzGerald O’Driscoll and includes a sunroom addition with rear timber deck.

The house is very pretty inside with a cream kitchen, timber flooring and a light touch in the decor.

There are wooden floors at ground level in the living room and sun room (which comes with underfloor heating), while the kitchen/diner is tiled. There’s also a guest WC off the main hallway.

Overhead, the master is en suite and has a balcony feature while two of the three bedrooms are doubles.
