Bloom in Ballincollig

THERE it is – all cleaned out and ready and waiting for new owners.

And No 7 Daffodil Fields also has a tucked away location at the end of a cul-de-sac, off the now much quieter access road to Ballincollig town centre in Cork.

Part of a distinctive estate of houses on what was once a field of wild daffodils, the scheme has bedded down nicely into the Poulavone end of the town.

The new cycle route, great landscaping by the Tidy Towns committee and a general air of civic pride has transformed Ballincollig in the last decade, helped in no small part by the bypass. It’s now one of the more desirable and better served places in which to live in Cork city.

And the Daffodil Fields estate offers quality, mid-level housing for families on the Model Farm road side of the city.

No 7 is on the market with Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald who’s seeking offers in the region of €430,000 for the four-bed, detached house which is in pristine condition.

It has a large, east/west facing corner site which means the back garden is great to come home to in summer. And it’s very big, so the prospect of an extension, or sunroom is there, if needs be.

Inside, there’s a bright hallway with main living room to the left, (with bay windows on two sides, south and west), and guest bathroom to the right.

The family room is to the rear and the kitchen is on the right-hand side, with a dining area and utility. Four bedrooms are off a central landing and the master is en suite with a main bathroom.

Viewers will get a clean sweep of the property, which is privately situated in a good location.
