No. 71 Leslie’s Arch in Ballincollig is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom home spanning three storeys. On the ground floor, and down a couple of steps from the kitchen/dining room, is a living room leading out to the back garden. A great spot for relaxing or ‘catching a game with a few friends’.
Upstairs, there’s another full-width living room with a bay window and french doors opening to a Juliet balcony — definite sophisticated salon vibes here.
The rest of the second floor is occupied by the main bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathroom. The other three bedrooms, one of which is also an en suite double, are on the top floor so there’s plenty room for a family to spread out.
This house has a B3 BER and it’s end-of-terrace, which means handy side access to the back garden — no traipsing across clean floors with new shrubs or cuttings.
“You’re within a few minutes’ walking distance of Ballincollig town centre, and have easy access to local primary and secondary schools — and are only a short stroll to the beautiful Regional Park,” notes Tirza Hourihane of Sherry FitzGerald.
: This modern home has a family-friendly layout and nifty location.
There's plenty inspiration for extensions and garage conversions and other home improvement across this Togher park and in other estates in the area.
No 131 Greenwood Estate is right at the end of a cul-de-sac section and has a green area close by.
This three-bed semi-detached home, which has been underpinned, has a west-facing back garden so it will catch the evening sun.
“You’re in a quiet cul-de-sac in a very mature, settled estate — which is a big thing, very positive,” says Jeremy Murphy, of Jeremy Murphy & Associates.
Interest has come from a mix of first-time buyers and people in the area interested in trading up. There are some nice features such as the sitting room fireplace but it’s likely new owners will want to upgrade that E1 BER.
Within a handy distance of The Lough, as well as supermarkets and schools, this house is also on the 214 bus route to the city centre, as well as the 219 orbital bus route.
: Great potential at this quiet cul-de-sac house.

This Whitegate semi-d at 6 Careystown Woods could be just the ticket for those looking for a walk-in ready home which was renovated by its current owners.
“This is a beautiful job, the owners are a great team, it’s their second or third time doing up a house like this,” reveals James Colbert of Colbert & Co.
Some of the work involved changing the windows and all the doors, new flooring, new heating system and radiators, a new kitchen, and landscaping — they’re moving on to another do-up project in the East Cork area.
The work carried out was by property owner Derek Manson of DM Construction with plumbing, electrics, and roofing by local trade persons.
“It’s essentially a complete transformation, a ‘new’ house, but in an established area,” adds Mr Colbert.
The house itself is in a cul-de-sac part of the development. The large kitchen/dining area has a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows. There’s a custom-built kitchen, from Midleton-based Forestfare, which is centred around a large island. Integrated appliances and features include a dishwasher and washing machine, along with a hob, oven, fridge-freezer, and a larder cupboard.
Double french doors lead to the back garden. There’s a versatile office/playroom downstairs which could be transformed into a fourth bedroom. Upstairs there’s main bedroom with an en suite, another double room, and a single.
: Turn-key finish — job done.

It's all about the location at this Wilton address. It’s super close to the South Ring Road network and it’s also within a handy distance of Cork University Hospital, Wilton Shopping Centre, schools, and other shops.
“You’ve got a house in good condition in a convenient and mature residential area — it’s an opportunity for first-time buyers or investors really,” says John Moynihan of Sherry FitzGerald.
This terraced house at 213 Eagle Valley was previously rented.
The ground floor has a kitchen/dining room, and a separate living room and sitting room, so family members or housemates could spread out a bit.
Upstairs, two of the three bedrooms are doubles — and one is en suite. The two larger rooms have built-in wardrobes.
The back garden is accessed via sliding doors from the sitting room as well as from the kitchen, and there’s off-street parking to the front.
Gaelscoil Ui Riada is a 780m walk away and you’ve got two secondary schools within 1.5km.
: Eagle Valley is particularly attractive to those in the medical profession with its proximity to hospitals — and it’s also handy for University College Cork and Munster Technological University — something for first-time buyers and potential investors to note.
