Trading up: Ballincollig, Co Cork, €299,950

Four-bed semis are in very short supply in Ballincollig and many which do come on the market, are more expensive than this one at 138 An Caislean, guiding at €299,950.

So say Global Properties which lists the key selling points as location, just 500m from the town centre, space (1,314 sq ft) and condition, which they describe as excellent.

The property, with smart interior, is one of only a small number of four-bed semis in the 196-house development which Global Properties sold off the plans in 2004.
