4 of a kind: Large and spacious family homes in Co Dublin

From a detached five bedder in Clonskeagh to a terraced period property in Fairview.

IF THE CAPITAL is still in your sights, even if you are now working from home the majority of the time, space and proximity to the city centre may be non-negotiable.

This week, we’ve found four generously-sized homes that will no doubt make working from home an absolute joy, from a detached five-bed in Clonskeagh to a mid-terraced period property in Fairview.

 Clonskeagh, Dublin 14 – €1,550,000

No 6 Ardilea Wood is a five-bed detached home Dublin’s south side. Spanning a whopping 325m², the rooms inside comprise a number of social spaces including a drawing room, dining room, family room and bright kitchen with a lovely adjoining breakfast room. Also on the ground floor, there’s a study, utility room and a guest toilet. There’s space for three cars to the front and a pretty back garden that’s accessed through the breakfast room.

On the first floor there are five big bedrooms, two of which are en suite while the others share the family bathroom. Located in Clonskeagh and minutes from UCD campus, everything the south side offers is on this home’s doorstep, from sports and schools to shops and social spots.

Number 24 Avoca Road is a south facing home with four bedrooms that’s spacious inside and out. With its large sunny garden and side access, the site is slightly elevated so it soaks up natural light.

The kitchen is large and fully-fitted, ready for the next keen chef to get cooking while looking out at the garden. There’s also a guest toilet and family room that completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are large enough for double beds and two of them are en suite. With one upper and two lower terraces this very spacious and private garden has been very well maintained, and provides ample outdoor living and entertaining spaces.
