Here’s a roundup of the most-viewed properties on Daft.ie for September…
Barna, Co Galway
Lough Rusheen House is a luxurious five-bed home that might just be the epitome of the phrase ‘the best of both worlds’. The property sits in complete seclusion on the west coast, surrounded by 23 acres of private land – but it’s just 6km from Galway city. Inside, an open plan kitchen takes advantage of the Barna Bay views and combines classic and modern design flawlessly.
Walk from the main house through a brightly lit hallway and you’ll find the guest wing, home to another bedroom and a self-contained kitchen, living area and bathroom, ideal for guests who value some privacy during their visit. Galway city is a mere ten minute drive away with a wealth of schools, shops, restaurants and bars, so even in your coastal retreat you’ll never be far from the action
Enniscorthy, Co Wexford
This charming rural home features apple trees plus endless plants and shrubs throughout the half-acre site. Apple Tree Cottage has been extensively renovated and extended over the years, and has three double bedrooms – although the original fabric of the property has never been compromised. The solid oak kitchen is hand-painted and offers plenty of storage. A tiled floor and partly tiled walls, make for easy cleaning, as do the granite work tops. Double doors lead out to the bright garden that surrounds the home.
Just a ten minute drive from Enniscorthy town, Apple Tree Cottage is handy for the N25/N30 should you wish to venture further afield. Rosslare, New Ross and the seaside towns of Waterford are all within easy reach, providing the new owners a brilliant choice of day trip destinations.
Naas, Co Kildare
Bellingsfield is a new development located just outside Naas town, perfect for families who wish to be near the city centre, first-time buyers, or anyone looking for some extra breathing room. A mixed bag of detached and semi-detached homes, all properties in Bellingsfield are generously sized and equipped for the needs of a growing family.
In terms of location, Bellingsfield is hard to beat. Located five minutes from a number of schools – Piper’s Hill Montessori, St David’s National School, Gaelscoi Nás Na Ríogh and Piper’s Hill College – it’s also close to Naas, a bustling town with a good number of restaurants, pubs and shops. Travelling to Dublin from Naas is easy: several bus routes pass through the town centre, and it’s a short drive to the local train station. Drivers can be in Dublin centre in 40 minutes, too.
Termonfeckin, Co Louth
Roxbury House is a modern home just a four minute drive from the Louth village of Termonfeckin. The five-bed home was constructed in the style of an American villa in 2001. It sits on four acres of private land and has its own indoor pool. While the Irish landscape might not be Hollywood-ready, Roxbury House definitely manages to capture that California feeling inside its walls.
For a taster of Stateside living without leaving Ireland, Roxbury House might just be the perfect compromise. Enjoying all the benefits of country living, this impressive home is just 35 minutes from the M50. The closest town is Termonfeckin while Drogheda is situated less than ten minutes away.
It’s on the market for €1,500,000.
