Starter home: 

Size: 84 sq m (900 sq ft)

All of the basics are in place at the three-bed semi-d 48 Carriganarra, just south of Ballincollig town. The home has an en suite bedroom, plus a guest WC, with a main living room, and kitchen with dining area - as yet there’s no extension, sun room or other additions.

Estate agent Glen O’Connor of DNG Creedon guides at €189,000 for this new-to market offer, and says it’s in a cul de sac estate, near all the essential services and amenities of rapidly-grown Ballincollig.
