4 of a kind: Semi-detached homes with three bedrooms each
Proving just how different the standard semi-d can be.
We all talk about the standard semi-d; it’s a typical type of home and most of us can instantly conjure an image of one – or 100. But all three-bedroom semi-detached homes aren’t created or priced equally.
From a Waterford City semi-d with a converted garage to a very inexpensive Sligo home with delightful brickwork, this selection of four homes will show you just how different that standard Irish semi-d can really be.
Waterford City, Co. Waterford
This three-bed, two-bath semi-detached home in Waterford City has a converted garage, giving extra space to the standard size. It’s nestled in amongst mature trees and shrubs in a quiet neighbourhood that has a nice mix of established residents and new, young families.
Not only is the property well-situated to get to local amenities like Ardkeen Shopping Centre and Waterford University Hospital, it is also an easy drive to some of Waterford City’s most popular primary and secondary schools.
Decorated in soft neutrals, the home is move-in ready.
Sligo, Co. Sligo
While this three-bed, two-bath semi-detached home in Sligo might be in need of modernisation, it also has some of the loveliest details for this type of home. The brickwork on the front entryway gives a nice welcome home, and the fireplace in the sitting room adds interest to the room.
A new owner might want to replace much of the existing storage with more modern options, but you’d have to admit that some of the original details bring character to the typical semi-d.
Additionally, the property is within easy walking distance to Sligo town, and a newly finished Western Distributor Road will significantly cut down on traffic, making it an even more peaceful spot.
Ramelton, Co. Donegal
Not every semi-d was built decades ago. This three-bedroom, two-bath semi-detached home in Donegal is brand new and very well-appointed with a spacious and bright kitchen and convenient utility area.
Ramelton is a Bord Fáilte Heritage Town, sitting on the banks of the River Lennon. it is only fifteen minutes from Letterkenny and quite close to popular coastal areas.
The new development comprises only 13 homes, and this particular property has a unique corner lot.
Kilcullen, Co. Kildare
A little closer to Dublin, this semi-d might be the right fit for a couple or family hoping to make the leap onto the property ladder. This home is elevated above the street a bit, giving it nice views of Castlemartin Stud Farm and Kilcullen town.
While the interior is fairly standard for a semi-detached home – with three bedrooms upstairs, including an en suite and family bath- the garden is unique. It comprises a three-tier layout, a storage shed, and low-maintenance garden that’s fully enclosed.
You could buy it for €255,000.
