Mid-range, detached houses are rare on the market at the moment and demand is high. So it’s no surprise there’s been a big response to the sale of no 4 Mossgrove, Ballincollig, which alreayd has an opening offer of €340,000.

On the western side of the town, and close to EMC, it’s one of the larger house types in the Classes Lake scheme and Norma Healy, of Sherry FitzGerald, says it’s a bit special, because “it’s sophisticated, spacious and in an excellent location”.
