All the signs of a fine family home

This cosy Ballincollig bungalow has all the makings of a great home, writes Rose Martin

IT’S all about the site with this house on the Maglin Road. The former country boreen retains its local character, but connects to the new Ballincollig bypass, making this location ideal for commuters.

New to the market with Sheila O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald, this Rohfab bungalow residence is in very good condition, but will need modernising.

It has been extended at the rear and has good space, including a living room with a fireplace, kitchen/dining room facing south-east and gardens that wrap around the house.

The site is good at over a quarter acre, with a boundary of tall, mature shrubs and trees. There’ s also plenty of room for a big, sun room extension.

The aspect means the house gets the sun all day — it rises in the kitchen window and sets in summer in the sitting room window. All-round perfect.

Verdict: Mature grounds that would otherwise take years to grow. This house has the potential to become a fine family home, within minutes of Ballincollig’s town centre.
