The very specific location of this four-bed detached home in Ballincollig gives it a double bonus.

First up, No 1 The Crescent at Heathfield in Carriganarra is handily close to the front of the estate, near the link road and access to the N22. And it’s on a corner site just across from a green area which means an extra window at the side of the house — to the left of front living room’s chimney breast.

Built in 2019, there wasn’t much to be done to this A3-rated house, but the owners did add and stylish features such as acoustic wall panelling in the bright family room looking onto the back garden which can be accessed from both sides of the house. They also boosted the versatility of the other ground floor front room at this 180 sq m home by adding built-in storage cupboards and a bench area so it’s a home office/ boot room, keeping clutter out of the rest of the living area.

The large kitchen/dining room, running the full width of the back of the house, has crisp looking quartz countertops and matching splashback and a large central island. This room adjoins the vaulted ceiling family room.

Three of the four bedrooms are doubles, two with their own bathrooms. The main bedroom also has a walk-in wardrobe. ”It’s a gorgeous house, you’ve got ample parking at the front for three cars and it has been really well maintained, it’s just very attractive,” notes Linda O’Donovan of Bowe Property.

The owners are relocating west so this house is fresh to the market, guided at €785k. Interest is mainly coming from people living in the area who want to trade up to a detached home in walk-in condition

VERDICT: Location is everything here, right down to the bonus window.
