Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac overlooking a mature green, this Ballincollig four-bedroom demi-detached home has a lot going for it.

It has two good-sized living rooms downstairs. The back room connects to the kitchen with double doors and also has patio doors to the back garden so there’s good light and a good sense of continuity. Even the hallway is attractively bright thanks to a large sidelight window by the front door.
Upstairs, two of the four bedrooms in this 2002-built house have en suite bathrooms.

“It’s really nicely finished and has a west-facing back garden as well as the two reception rooms so it’s appealing to families and first-time-buyers — and ready for immediate occupation,” notes Sherry FitzGerald’s Tirza Hourihane.

The current owners are relocating locally.

The location here comes in for a nod too, notes Tirza: “It’s a great spot, you’ve got immediate access to the Ballincollig bypass connecting you to Wilton, Bishopstown, and Cork city centre, and Ballincollig town centre is within walking distance. And you’re looking out on a mature green here too.”

A short spin or bike ride gets you to the popular Regional Park and there’s a stop for the 24-hour bus service just 250m away.

You have a choice of primary and secondary schools within 2.5km so the family appeal is obvious.

The Property Price Register shows that this house was bought in 2018 for €320,000. Since then, sales at The Lawn in Coolroe have included figures upwards of €505,000.

VERDICT: The numbers speak for themselves: Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two living rooms, one convenient location.
