What can I get around Ireland... for €600,000?
From a seaside fixer-upper in Cork to a grand escape in Galway.
FINDING A HOME that matches your budget without compromising your list of must-haves can be tricky, but we’re here to make that task easier.
Each week we round up a selection of homes currently on the market in Ireland around the same price point, giving you a snapshot of what a particular amount could get you.
This week, our budget is exactly €600,000. From a sprawling Galway mansion with a gym and sauna, to a stunning property on the coast in Co Cork.
Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary – €600,000
Set on two acres in Carrick-on-Suir, this five-bedroom, two-bathroom detached home in Carrick-on-Suir offers the beauty and character of a period home that has been highly maintained over the years. From the fanlight entry to the iron radiators, ceiling medallions and intricate moulding, the details of this property are an obvious highlight.
With over 3,700 sq ft of space, this home has ample living space and high ceilings that add to the airy feel. Downstairs, the kitchen has been updated, and upstairs, the master bedroom has an en suite and built-in wardrobes. Each room has been painting in a soothing shade, meaning you’d be able to arrive on the doorstep without much of a to-do list ahead.
Clontarf, North Dublin City – €600,000
This property, located in the seaside suburb of Clontarf, has been occupied by the original owner since it was built in 1985, and the new owner might be interested in changing some of the original decor or finishes. A four-bedroom, two-bathroom detached home on a leafy street, this spot could make a perfect commuter-friendly option if you’re willing to put in a little work to spruce up the space.
The living space and bedrooms upstairs simply need cosmetic improvements, while the bathrooms and kitchen will likely require more extensive updating. When all is said and done, you’ll soon find yourself relaxing in the low-maintenance back garden or strolling the few blocks to the seafront.
Athenry, Co Galway – €600,000
Set on seven acres, this five-bedroom, six-bathroom property in Athenry, just fifteen minutes from Galway city, offers quite a lot of home for your €600,000. Throughout the house, you’ll find a combination of marble and timber flooring, and an elaborate and dramatic stairway leading to an impressive second-floor balcony. The kitchen includes an Aga range and marble countertops, along with a utility room with built-in floor-to-ceiling units.
The bedrooms are very large and many have their own attached dressing rooms, and four of them have en suites. You’ll also find a bonus top floor with a games area, gym, sauna and bar.
Skibbereen, Co Cork – €600,000
While this Skibbereen property might not have the square footage that the Athenry home does, it makes up for it – and then some – with its location, acreage and beach front footage. With 33 acres and a half-mile of private waterfront access, you will have one serious seaside retreat.
The house itself was built in 1929, and will need renovating, but is structurally sound. The property also includes several outbuildings in a ruined state, including a pre-famine dwelling. Perched on the edge of Roaring Water Bay, you’re well situated for sailing and boating, and you’ll be able to spend every sunny summer day on your private beach.
