Trading Up: Carrigaline, Cork, €290,000

Things are wrapping up soon at Astra Construction’s steadily developed Forest Hill scheme on the edge of Carrigaline, where builder Stephen McCarthy has kept a crew employed and locals housed, over the past seven or eight tough years for the economy and society. 

Trading Up: Carrigaline, Cork, €290,000

Within the coming months he’ll start on the Cork side of the harbour town, by Shannonpark, in another sizeable development.

For those ready to move now, though, Forest Hill selling agent Dan Howard has a walk-in option ready to go, and he guides the three-bed No 17 Bluebell Lane at €290,000 for its family occupants who bought here in 2015.

It’s an immaculate, fresh and well decorated home, slightly extended to the back with a family space off the rear kitchen/diner, and faces south overlooking a green, with another pitch-sized central green within the generally well-landscaped development visible over the back garden wall, meaning No 17’s not overlooked.

Its front reception is bright, with a bay window and insert stove, and is carpeted, while the hall and rear open plan kitchen/dining/living section is floored in timber too, with timber painted units in the double-aspect kitchen; there’s also a utility and guest WC at ground level.

All three bedrooms are carpeted and one’s en suite with a shower.

The main family washroom has a bath, and helping to power it all are solar panelsand PV panels.

VERDICT: Will this bluebell be picked up before the real ones pop out in April droves?
