4 The Birches, Herons Wood, Carrigaline, Co. Cork, P43P110

*** OPEN VIEWING 18th APRIL 10 - 11AM *** 4 The Birches, Herons Wood, Carrigaline A Rare Corner-Plot Gem in One of Carrigaline's Most Beloved Estates Dan Howard Auctioneers are delighted to bring to the market this superb three-bedroom end-of-terrace residence, occupying an exceptional corner plot in the ever-popular Herons Wood estate. Unlike most homes of its type, No. 4 The Birches enjoys the rare luxury of a generously sized site on two sides — offering space, privacy, and potential that is simply hard to find at this level of the market. The south/west facing rear garden is the jewel in the crown here — bathed in afternoon and evening sunshine, it is the perfect setting for family life, summer barbecues, children playing safely, or simply unwinding after a long day. Whether you have green fingers or dream of a sun-soaked patio, this garden will delight. Internally, the property provides well-proportioned accommodation across two floors, with bright and comfortable living spaces, a functional kitchen, three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. This is a home that is ready to move into and make your own — and represents exceptional value for first-time buyers looking to plant roots in a genuinely wonderful community.

Developed by Astra Construction, the estate has matured beautifully over the years into a warm, tight-knit community where neighbours know each other's names and children grow up with a sense of belonging. The estate is home to a proud and active residents' community, with tree-lined streets, well-maintained green areas, and a genuine neighbourhood feel that is increasingly rare. Families are drawn here for the safe, quiet environment — there's ample green space for children to play, and the layout of the estate means through-traffic is minimal, making it a calm and relaxed place to call home. A brand new pedestrian and cycle route — the Bridgemount to Herons Wood Active Travel Link — was officially opened in September 2025, connecting the estate directly to Carrigaline town centre via a dedicated 500-metre pathway along the old railway line. This is a transformative addition for residents, making it easier than ever to walk or cycle safely to schools, shops, and the town. Carrigaline — Cork's Favourite Town to Call Home Carrigaline has long been one of the most desirable places to live in County Cork, and it continues to grow from strength to strength. Sitting just south of Cork city on the banks of the Owenabue River, it strikes a rare balance between vibrant town living and easy access to the stunning scenery of Cork Harbour and the Wild Atlantic coastline. The town centre offers everything a family needs day to day — supermarkets, butchers, bakeries, pharmacies, cafés, restaurants, and a broad range of local shops. There is excellent choice when it comes to schools, with several primary and secondary schools within easy reach, making it one of the most family-friendly towns in Munster. For leisure, Carrigaline punches well above its weight. The nearby coastline at Fountainstown, Myrtleville and Crosshaven is just a short drive away, offering some of Cork's finest swimming and walking. Camden Fort Meagher, a remarkable 16th-century coastal fortification, sits close by and is a favourite for family days out. The GAA, soccer, tennis, and sailing clubs all thrive here, and there are excellent parks, playgrounds and green spaces throughout the town. Carrigaline is also ideally positioned for commuters. Cork city centre is just 15 minutes by car, Cork Airport is even closer, and the major pharmaceutical and tech employers in Ringaskiddy — including some of the world's leading life sciences companies — are practically on the doorstep.
