4 of a kind: Five-bed detached homes with plenty of space
From a new build in Dublin 15 to a family home by the sea in Cork.
WITH COMPLETE PRIVACY and no noisy neighbours to worry about, it’s no wonder why detached homes are some of the most sought-after property types for large families.
This week, we’ve rounded up four of the very best five-bed detached homes on the market right now – all generous in size and perfect in layout for any growing family.
Rochestown, Co Cork
It may not look it from the outside but this home does indeed have five bedrooms and they’re all nice in size too. Set on a secluded 0.25 acre plot of land, Snugboro is just a few minutes’ drive from Douglas.
Inside you’ll find a living room, a family room, kitchen/dining room and even a utility room. Two bedrooms sit downstairs and a further three, one with an en suite bathroom, resides upstairs. And that’s before you even spot the tree house sitting in the back garden.
This property is on the market for €645,000.
Castleknock, Dublin 15
Close to the city and the Phoenix Park, as well as schools, trains and bus routes, Castleknock is fast becoming the most popular spot in Dublin to buy in.
Just off Carpenterstown Road. on a quiet cul de sac, sits this high class development by Mariaville Homes. Fottrell Hall is made up of five detached and four semi-detached family homes, all A-rated for energy. High-end appliances and superbly fitted kitchen storage make these homes ideal for busy families.
The price for these ones are on application, so you can enquire right here.
Crosshaven, Co Cork
This beautifully designed home at 7 Watermeadow in Crosshaven is spread over two floors and has an impressive four bathrooms throughout. Built in 2016, energy efficiency and high-end design touches weren’t spared; the windows are double glazed (even triple in some areas) and the materials used range from solid oak flooring to Silestone kitchen countertops.
Location-wise, this property is close enough to the water for cliff walks, fishing, as well as a trip to the beaches of Myrtleville, Church Bay and Weavers Point. For more hustle and bustle, drive to the city centre within 30 minutes and the ring road network at Carrigaline connects you to the east and west sides of Cork easily.
Swords. Co Dublin
Only a 12 minute drive to the airport and super close to Ikea, 13 The Grange has all the makings of the perfect family home. Bright, spacious and with five double bedrooms, the 2,432 sq ft property is only four years old. This means that all of the fixtures and fittings are modern, and of the highest standard. Brands like Farrow & Ball, and German kitchen brands Franke and Nobilia feature throughout the house
Swords village is nearby but even handier is a large convenience store with garage, ATM and post office for any quick errands, as well as a coffee shop and pub for socialising.
