What can I get in Ireland for... €175,000 or less?

Keep your budget on track with these picks from around the country.

NO MATTER WHERE you are on the property ladder, staying within a realistic budget is probably the biggest challenge you’ll face on your home-hunting journey.

So, before you lose the run of yourself and go way over, we’re here to give you a guiding hand. From a roomy townhouse in Co Clare with a big back garden, to a quaint bunaglow in Offaly with a stand-out hallway, here are four picks from around the country that are all on the market for under €175,000.

Ennis, Co Clare – €169,500

A short distance on foot from Ennis town centre, 25 Oak Park is a semi-detached family home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It also offers a large living room and an open plan kitchen/dining area that looks out to a back garden accessed from the side of the property.

With another patch of green to the front, home owners can take advantage of the sun at any time of day, while an entrance gate and off-street parking keep things secure. With Ennis just a few minutes’ walk from your door, you have your pick of the schools, shops and sights of the town, with the added plus of Shannon Airport being less than a 30-minute drive away.

Ballisodare, Co Sligo – €175,000

A little further north sits 5 Bushy Park, a four-bedroom home in Yeats Country. It may come as a nice surprise to those on the hunt for a detached property in this price range. The ground floor has a living room, WC and kitchen/dining area that leads out to the garden, while the upper floor is home to four bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, and also a family bathroom.

Walking distance from a few schooling options, a large SuperValu and a leisure centre, this guarantees a surprisingly spacious and affordable home with loads of essential amenities on its doorstep.

Walsh Island, Co Offaly – €165,000

The powder-blue hallway with its pristine tiles set the tone of this welcoming three bedroom bungalow in Offaly. Number 11 Coolagarry is a home that embraces some really charming features throughout – none more evident than in the new kitchen and bathroom that were introduced as part of a refurbishment just two years ago.

Within walking distance of the village of Walsh Island, those who need to travel further afield will have a mere 15 minute commute to Portarlington and five minutes more to Tullamore.

Longford Town, Co Longford – €159,500

Number 34 Druids Glen has a bright and spacious open-plan ground floor that’s perfectly suited to young families. The kitchen has the luxury of an island – always a help for busy households who enjoy entertaining and prepping meals. Light is maximised by the double glass doors that lead to the patio area. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a walk in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room. The other two are made up of a double bedroom with built in wardrobe and a smaller single room.

The Druids Glen development resides just off Battery Road, so the town centre of Longford is just a short walk away. Sports fans can take advantage of a tennis club, a rugby club, and the County GAA grounds. A convenience store also sits nearby if you need to nip out for some milk. The main N4 Dublin-Sligo road is within a few minutes’ drive, too, which means you can make it to the capital in under two hours.
