What can I get around Ireland for... €500,000 or so?

From a stylish new build in Meath to a secluded Cork four-bed.

ARE YOU LOOKING to buy a home in the new year? Like most house hunters, you no doubt have a set budget in mind. Each week, we take a look at homes at a specific price point, to give you an idea of what’s on the market in a given price range.

This week, we’re taking a look at some of the more high-end properties, priced at €500,000 and under.

Glanmire, Cork — €475,000

Hidden down a cul-de-sac, 37 Chestnut Meadows has a secluded, private feel despite being part of a larger estate. Built in 2005, this family home has been well cared for, and comes to the market in wonderful condition.

There’s lots of storage space, including big wardrobes in all bedrooms, and there’s a garage to the rear, too. As well as this, it’s a mere fifteen-minute drive to Cork city.

Rathoath, Co Meath — €480,000

Enter 74 Steeple Chase Hill, just a ten-minute walk from Ratoath, and you’ll be surprised: this detached family home features wonderfully high ceilings in the entrance hall. The feeling of space continues throughout with an open-plan design, especially in the living room/entertaining area.

Outside, there is a lovely rear garden with a room designed for outdoor relaxing, as well as carefully manicured lawns and bushes. Steeple Chase Hill is also only forty-five minutes from Dublin by car.

Wicklow Town — €485,000

This three-bedroom semi-detached home in The Friary isn’t just beautiful on the inside: it also boasts sea views towards the Wicklow coast. The property is modern and tastefully designed, with fully fitted kitchens, large bedrooms and fully tiled bathroom areas.

The Friary is also close to beaches, sports clubs and Wicklow town, and it’s just under an hour’s drive to Dublin.

Kilcock, Co Meath — €500,000

At Millerstown, a brand-new development built on the Royal Canal, there’s plenty to fall in love with. Situated just forty minutes from Dublin (and two from the local train station), the five-bedroom homes have a lot to offer a growing family.
The Millerstown development is also home to a linear park that runs along the canal, which makes a lovely recreational area for anyone living here.
