Trading Up home: Unexpected features in Carrigaline-based spacious four-bed

Carrigaline, Co Cork €355,000

A large, well-stocked fish pond is quite an unexpected feature in the back garden of this spacious well kept, four-bed semi at 13 Heatherfield in Carrigaline.

John Hornibrook of Sherry FitzGerald O’Donovan says that both the house and its garden are in exceptionally good condition.

“Spacious with 1,550sq ft of living space, it’s situated in a mature residential development on the Cork side of Carrigaline within walking distance of amenities,” he adds quoting a guide of €355,000.

Ground-floor accommodation is mostly open-plan and oak-floored.

The living room at the front has a gas fire insert while the kitchen diner at the rear has hand-painted blue/grey units.

At the side there’s also a utility room, a guest WC and a study/office.

The upper level has a bathroom and four oak-floored bedrooms.

Situated at the front, overlooking a central green area, is a master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite.

The garden at the rear is as well kept as the interior and has a lawned area, a patio, and a shed as well as the large unexpected pond teeming with gold fish.

The owners are prepared to leave it or take it away if the new owners don’t want it.

VERDICT: A modern, well kept-home with plenty of growing space.
