4 of a kind: Spacious contemporary bungalows for smart family living

These one-floor homes offer everything from sea views to tennis courts.

BUNGALOWS ARE A GREAT choice for many reasons. If you have a young family or if you have mobility issues, a one-level home is ideal. Offering space without height, these spots often come with the added advantage of a larger-than-average garden area or a tranquil location.

If all that sounds like what you’re looking for in your forever home, here are four bungalows around Ireland to consider, from a gorgeous Dublin dormer to a contemporary Meath four-bed.

Mount Merrion, Co Dublin

This four-bedroom property in a much sought after location is both stylish and functional. Spanning a spacious 312 sq m/3,357 sq ft, Sea Glimpse was remodelled in 2006, and has been kept in fantastic condition.

Inside, the property has four large bedrooms, three en-suite bathrooms, and features both a home office and a games room. Outside, private landscaped gardens are surrounded by flowerbeds, hedges and fruit trees.

Sea Glimpse is on sale for €1,350,000.
