You can get that house-hunter check-list all neatly ticked and squared away at this four-bed, four-bathroom detached house in Ballincollig.

No 20 The Square at the Heathfield development is an A-rated home with a west-facing back garden which overlooks a large green to the front.

The current owners, a family with two children, are selling this “with heavy hearts as they’re relocating to Spain for work”, notes Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald.

It’s a totally ready-to-go property at this 2022-built home with a neat, contemporary decor which could be ideally suited to people trading up to a forever home within the development or wider Ballincollig area.

Even younger members of the household could get their steps in on school mornings — it’s a 750m amble to Gaelscoil Uí Riordáin. And you have three secondary schools within around 2km. There’s a new creche right there in the development and you’re in a great spot for access to the Ballincollig Bypass to head to Cork city, Wilton, or Bishopstown.

Inside, there’s a large open-plan kitchen/dining /family area at the back of the house and a utility room has a door out to the side as well — handy for routing grassy or muddy gear straight towards the washing machine.

The modern kitchen has granite worktops and the appliances include an induction hob, Whirlpool extractor fan, Electrolux oven, and Belling microwave.

At the front you have a good-sized living room on one side of the hallway, and an office or den at the other side.

The two largest bedrooms both have en suite bathrooms and the main one has a walk-in wardrobe too. There’s Stira access to the attic area.

“Really the location here is ideal as you’re within walking distance of the local shop, doctors’ surgery and creche, as well as Ballincollig itself,” says Ms Healy.

No 20, was bought four years ago for almost €470,000 according to the Price Register and its return to market is the first re-sale of a home in this section of the Heathfield scheme — which also includes The Court, The Drive, The Venue, and The Green — proof that those who move in are inclined to stay.

VERDICT: Fair and square at this super-neat, energy-efficient, and modern detached Ballincollig home.
