No need to wish for a helicopter to get about if you’re living at The Sycamores on Model Farm Rd. There aren’t too many established five-bedroom detached homes where you’re a five-minute drive from MTU and about the same distance from Ballincollig town centre, with Wilton Shopping Centre and CUH a 4.4km spin away.

This bungalow on a 0.43 acre site was built in 1977 — and yes it does have three mature sycamore trees in the garden.

“You’ve got fantastic privacy at the rear of the home — it’s agri-land behind so it’s private and not overlooked, but yet you’re so close to the city,” notes Trevor O’Sullivan of Lisney SIR, who recently sold another Model Farm Road home, Clifden, for more than €1.37m according to the Property Price Register..

The new 33-home upmarket Hermitage Farm development just 450m away is also testament to the appeal of this area.

South-facing to the front, this split-level bungalow also has a spacious 287sq ft garage at the rear, which could be a workshop or even converted — subject to planning permission.

Entering through the good-sized conservatory at the front, you’ve got the bedrooms to the right, with the living spaces on the other side of the house.

That D1 BER is likely to be tackled and the fifth bedroom at the back of the house could be repurposed as a home office.

“There’s a lot of interest in bungalows and new owners could opt to retrofit what they have here or go for extending as there’s plenty room either way here,” adds Mr O’Sullivan.

There’s a WC and utility room off the south-facing kitchen and the main bedroom also has an en suite bathroom.

Interest is from families, investors, and professionals wanting a convenient base.

VERDICT: Heli yeah, this home has the location, location, location part sorted.
