Three-bed semi ideal for first-time buyers

ALMOST new and with a fine, big back garden, this three-bed semi in Ballincollig is a sure-fire bet for first-time buyers.

On the market at an affordable, €264,000 through Bowe Auctioneers, no 36 The Sycamores is located in Classes Lake on the outskirts of the Cork town and has fast access to the bypass and to the city.

The development has its own community centre with doctor, dentist and shops and is still within walking distance of Ballincollig town centre, which is shaping up nicely. No 36 is in a quiet cul de sac, so it’s perfect for smallies and there are good local schools nearby.

The kitchen is in warm cherry, with some nice lighting and the main sitting room has a cast iron fireplace and double doors through to the dining room.

A guest bathroom is fitted on the ground floor and overhead, there are two double bedrooms, a study/single room and main bathroom with master en suite.
