Everyone's home is their little corner of the world. And this Ballincollig three-bed semi-d is just that on the double as it sits on a great corner site.

20 Hawthorne Avenue has one of the bigger plots in the Inniscarra View development so there’s great potential for development here, subject to planning permission.

“You’re south-facing at the back which is brilliant and that generous space at the side really opens up so many options — you could have a multi-generational living flat, or a home office, or add an extra bedroom onto the main house,” notes Tirza Hourihane of Sherry FitzGerald.

The current owners, a family, are relocating for work purposes and it’s expected that this home will be a big draw for families again.

It’s been upgraded over the years with insulated walls and attic, zoned heating and a double-sided multi fuel stove linking the living and dining rooms. That dining room connects on to the kitchen and to the conservatory at the rear.

The back garden is laid out as patio with lots of mature planting, and a gateway brings you to the lawned side garden.

There’s also a sitting room downstairs which can be accessed from the front driveway so this could become a popular playroom or gaming zone if not a fourth bedroom.

All three of the upstairs bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, and two of them are doubles.

Handily located on the city end of Ballincollig, you’re within walking distance of the town’s main street and shopping and fitness centres. And of course the nearby link road network brings you easily to Model Farm Rd, Bishopstown, Wilton and the city centre.

There are primary and secondary schools within walking distance and regular bus services at the estate connecting to the city, Carrigaline, and Crosshaven. Recent-ish (2024 and 2025) Inniscarra view sales have been for prices ranging from €355k to €565k.

VERDICT: Room to grow and adapt with a growing family — in a highly popular location.
