Set on a corner site in the well-settled scheme Heatherfield, is No 12, a five-bed detached family home, built by Fleming Construction and featuring their steel frame and well-insulated panels in their construction.

The Waterfall development of c 60 homes, less than 10 minutes west of Curraheen and Bishopstown has always been popular with medics because of their CUH proximity, and families trading up out of more standard suburban fare also favour these large two-storey houses.
