TASTY landscaping is just one of the attractions at No 35 Daffodil Fields, a Ballincollig estate that comes into its own this time of year. 

Decorative stonework and manicured raised flower beds are the order of the day, out front and to the rear, where one of two patio areas has a gorgeous inbuilt seating area, surrounded by well-established shrubbery.

 Much of this work was done about six years ago when the owner hired professional landscapers to lay Indian sandstone paving and Donegal Quartzite for the raised beds and seating.

The owner changed things up internally too, building on a conservatory to the rear around 2000, about five years after they moved in. They got a good innings from the house and the owner is ready to downsize now, closer to grandchildren.

For families in the locality looking to stay put but also to trade up, it's ideal, as it's a detached, 1500 sq ft home that's conveniently near to the South Link road network, with great onward access to Bishopstown/Wilton/hospitals/third level.

There's a nice interior at No 35, from the bright sitting room to the larger-than-average open plan kitchen/dining/living/sunroom.

Selling it is Olivia Roycroft of O'Mahony Walsh auctioneers and she says it's "the perfect upsizer". The guide price is €550,000.

Daffodil Fields is a quiet, family-friendly estate that overlooks a large green area.

VERDICT: Ideal family trade-up.
