Trading up: Ballincollig, Co Cork €460,000

The severe shortage of accommodation on the west of Cork city has seen huge demand for property across the board, says auctioneer, Derek Dorgan. 

Size: 167sq m (1,800sq ft) 

Bathrooms: 3 

Bedrooms: 4 

BER: C3

He’s just launched no 2 Woodberry, Greenfields, on the market and has been swamped with enquiries.

“There’s almost double the amount of garden with this house which makes it unique and there’s space to the back, side, and front,” he says.

“And very few properties on this road come up for sale.”

The house is a good 1,800 sq ft and a lower entry point than some of it’s neighbours, but it has huge potential for extension, which is perhaps the attraction for buyers.

It comes with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, with guest WC on the ground floor, large kitchen/ dining room, a main reception room, and an office.

VERDICT: Superb location and mature estate with a quick commute to the city.
