Starter homes: Greenfields, Ballincollig

Priced at €270,000, the four-bed semi-d at 10 Old Court Drive is pricey for most first-time buyers, but if you can stretch to it, you’ll hardly need to move again.

In mint order, with a modern, almost minimalist feel and decor and a mix of nice timbers, this Greenfields, Ballincolllig home is for sale with Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald who says it’s pristine inside, has a safe back garden, and easy access to Ballincollig Town Centre, while the Ballincollig bypass gives easy access back to Bishopstown, CUMH, and the city centre.
