Trading Up: Ovens, Cork €530,000

It’s a perfect trading-up home, say the selling agents of 35 The Meadows, in Classes Lake, west of Ballincollig at Ovens in Cork.

Demand all around Ballincollig is strong right now as employment continues to grow, and the asking price here of No 35, at €530,000 for a 2,500 sq ft four-bed home, should make it very accessible (the same agents have a lofty, six-bed, 2,800 sq ft Limeworth home also new this week in Ballincollig, at €720,000.)

Block-built, and two-storey, No 35 has been the home of a family since day one, and they are now trading down and moving on, says Sherry FitzGerald’s Norma Healy.
