As Kerry Pike’s 21-home Arlington scheme is scarcely three years old, re-sale prices are hard to come by.

Just one, No 7, shows on the Price Register. It sold second hand in October 2024 for €550k. Like No 20, featured here, it was a four-bed, three-bathroom semi-d, rated A2 for energy efficiency, ergo positive implications for utility bills. Insulation levels are high, the heating system is air-to-water and householders have the comfort of underfloor heating on the ground floor during the winter months. As a bonus, buyers are eligible for green mortgage rates.

Having sold for €490k as a new build in 2023, No 3 returns to market with a guide price reflective of the only other Arlington re-sale. At €540,000, first time buyers wil be in the mix.

Accommodation at the Bridgewater Construction home includes open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, with French doors to the rear garden. A utility and guest loo feature too. While the A-rating is a bonus, so is a fourth bedroom. The biggest of the four has an en suite.

Tirza Hourihane of Sherry FitzGerald brings the relative newbie to market and notes its “excellent connectivity to Ballincollig, Bishopstown, Blarney and Cork city centre”, via the N22 motorway at nearby Carrigrohane. Hollyhill — the base for tech giant Apple’s Cork campus — is also a short drive away, as are MTU and UCC.

VERDICT: Good as new.
