Spacious Fernwalk is just a short stroll from the new town centre

BIG, bright and near the bypass, this house at Greenfields, Ballincollig, Co Cork, is a must-see for a family looking for space and good gardens.

Part of a quiet enclave of houses in a larger scheme, this is just under 2,000 square feet and needs no add-ons — although there are a few sunroom additions on to neighbouring properties, so never say never. The back garden here is a good size, so any future extensions could be easily accommodated.

Right now, you have a house that offers lovely wooden floors, (a mixture of maple and oak) and living rooms that are a good size and will accommodate most furniture.
