Ironically for a house with direct park access, this three-bed semi-d in Ballincollig knocks it out of the park when it comes to location and energy efficiency.

No 15 Woodview at Fionn Laoi is an A-rated, triple-glazed home with solar panels and a south-facing rear garden. And as well as numerous green areas within the estate, it’s got direct walking and bike access to the Ballincollig Regional Park.

“This 2018-built home was bought new by the current owners from us and they have added some lovely touches such as shutters on all windows and electric blinds in all the bedrooms,” says Michelle Walsh of O’Mahony Walsh.

There’s a very handy built-in L-shaped bench in the dining area of the open-plan kitchen which also has a central island with breakfast bar seating, and double-doors leading out to that sunny back garden. Integrated appliances include a Caple fridge freezer, Hoover hob, dishwasher, oven, and microwave.

Upstairs all three of the bedrooms are doubles, notes Ms Walsh, adding that the main one at the front of the house has an ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. Conveniently, there’s Stira access to a partly floored attic to store winter gear and decorations, which also has conversion potential.

This development is at the city end of Ballincollig so it’s just minutes’ walk from the town centre and there’s a handy bus stop at the entrance to the estate.

There are several primary school options within about a kilometre and there’s one secondary school only 330m away with others within 2-3km.

And as this house with a €525,000 asking price was only built in 2018 by O’Callaghan Properties, it still has two years of the HomeBond Guarantee remaining.

VERDICT: Ticks just about every box: eco-conscious, cost-efficient, and a commuter-friendly location.
