What else could I get for... the €725,000 pricetag on this former hunting lodge in Leitrim
We take a look at what €725,000 would get you around the rest of the country.
FORMER HUNTING LODGE Shriff Cottage in Leitrim dates to the first half of the 19th century and has been refashioned for modern use.
The property’s living space is spread out across two floors, with its bedrooms located up a spiral staircase. The rear of the property holds its original cut-stone courtyard, a feature that sits amid the 70 acres of land the house sits on.
Its grounds slope down to Lough Gill and the estate has its own private jetty leading onto the lake.
Besides the main building, the home also has an annexed ‘Fisherman’s Cottage’, which serves as additional accommodation.
A big draw for potential buyers are the views out over Lough Gill and the Lake Isle of Innisfree, made famous by Irish literary giant WB Yeats.
The property in Co Leitrim is on the market for €725,000.
Here is what around €725,000 would get you around the rest of the country…
Dublin
This property in Dublin’s Glasnevin has maintained its traditional façade and style while undergoing extensive upgrading and modernisation. Unusually for a property that is not a new build, it has a BER rating of A1 – meaning potentially big savings in energy bills.
Its location means that potential buyers would have no difficulty in renting it out. Dublin City University and its Mater Dei campus are just a short distance away from the home.
It is on the market for €749,000.
Meath
This unusual-looking house in Meath has a number of unique design features – including its curved front and open-plan living spaces.
Known as Newhaggard and built just over 10 years ago, the home utilises natural light by having all of the property’s large living spaces positioned south-facing. In total it has more than 4,000 sq. ft. of floor space and one of its four bedrooms comes as an en-suite.
It is on the market for €700,000.
Galway
This house close to Galway city centre has its large private rear garden as a major selling point. Its green area has been well landscaped and maintained, extending to around 140 sq. ft. in total. The front of the house also has flowerbeds lining its driveway.
Inside the home has four bedrooms, two of which are en-suite. It even comes with its own gym/sauna combination. One potential downside is that it might be a bit pricey to heat, coming with a BER rating of E1.
It is on the market for €700,000.
