1 The Grove, Coolroe Meadows, Ballincollig, Cork, P31AT07

A superb four-bedroom semi-detached residence, perfectly positioned within one of Ballincollig’s most sought-after and well-established residential developments. 1 The Grove is a beautifully appointed B3 rated former showhouse that has been meticulously maintained and upgraded by the current owners. The home offers an impressive, light-filled interior with an excellent balance of generous living spaces and well-proportioned bedrooms. Extending to approximately 1,737 sq/ft, this spacious property has been thoughtfully enhanced with a porch extension, a rear extension, and a converted attic, making it an exceptional choice for growing families or those seeking versatile work-from-home accommodation. Occupying a prime corner site, the property benefits from a highly desirable south-facing rear aspect, ensuring the living areas and garden are flooded with natural light throughout the day. Internally, the accommodation comprises a family room, an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, utility room, guest W.C., four bedrooms, an ensuite, and a family bathroom. The converted attic provides valuable additional space, currently used as a bedroom, but easily adaptable to suit the evolving needs of its new owners. Externally, the home is equally impressive. To the front, a paved driveway offers private off-street parking alongside a manicured lawn and mature landscaping. There is also the benefit of an electric car charging unit to the front. The generously sized south-facing rear garden is beautifully designed and maintained, featuring a lush lawn, raised planting beds, and an elegant sandstone patio, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining on warm summer evenings. The garden also includes a timber storage shed and a dedicated patioed barbeque area, further enhancing the appeal of this outdoor space. The garden landscaping, paving and cobblelock was done by Ballygarvan Nurseries. The exterior of the property is low maintenance, with double-glazed PVC windows, PVC fascia and soffits, and an attractive red brick façade. Coolroe Meadows is widely regarded as one of Ballincollig’s premier residential developments. The property is within walking distance of the 24-hour bus service and the Regional Park, while also enjoying immediate access to the Ballincollig Bypass, offering direct routes to Bishopstown, Cork University Hospital, Cork Airport and Cork City Centre. Ballincollig Town Centre, supermarkets, schools, church, and local amenities are all just minutes away. It is difficult to fully appreciate all that this exceptional home has to offer from the exterior alone. Viewing is highly recommended.
