4 of a kind: Homes with conservatories for soaking up the sunlight

The days are short right now, but these homes make the most of every bit of natural light.

CONSERVATORIES SUNROOMS AND floor-to-ceiling windows are a smart way to brighten up a home, and let in as much outdoor light as possible.

They’re a common feature of extensions, but many newer homes now come with one of the above as standard too.

So what’s on the market, if a conservatory is top of your list? This week, we’ve rounded up four light-filled homes, with prices ranging from €380,000 right up to €6,000,000. 

Foxrock, Dublin 18

On the market for €6m, The Bawn is a period residence with seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. Located in the heart of old Foxrock, the property sits on 1.5 acres and covers a generous 5,600 sq ft. Throughout, The Bawn is rich in period detail with elaborate plaster work, mahogany panelling and an ornate glass dome. At the front of the house, a spacious conservatory grabs attention.

Privacy is the name of the game at The Bawn, with a sweeping driveway providing access and cultivated gardens surrounding the residence. Foxrock village and all of its amenities is but a short stroll away, while there are also several schools and sports facilities within close proximity.

Make it yours for €6,000,000.
