Take 4: Homes for every budget around Ireland
Here is our pick of properties from €250,000… up to €1 million.
GETTING INTO THE property market can be a daunting experience. Here we try and make it a bit easier – and bring you four of the best properties on the market around the country this week.
Under €250,000
Galway, Tuam - €205,000
This rather grand four-bedroomed house in Galway was built in 1986 and offers abundant space for its modest pricetag.
In its description it is also specified that its garage is available for conversion.
While low prices on properties can often ring alarm bells – this home’s description promises that “internally the property is maintained in excellent order and is easily heated”.
Under €500,000
Dublin, Lusk – €389,000
This spacious bungalow in Co Dublin sits in half an acre of its own grounds and could appeal to a growing family.
The property has easy access to all of the required amenities in Lusk, Skerries, Swords and Rush and is less than an hour’s drive from the centre of Dublin city.
Coming with a modern finish, the home should be easy to heat, with underfloor heating and double-glazed windows throughout.
Under €750,000
Cork, Kinsale – €650,000
This is a pretty unique home and will appeal to those looking for something a little bit different.
The Captain’s Terrace, in Kinsale, Co Cork, is a semi-detached four bedroom home that is ideal for anyone who has ever dreamed of living by the sea. The three-story cottage is almost 2,000 sq. ft. and has impressive views of Kinsale Harbour.
Inside it has been throughly renovated with hardwood floors in the living areas and carpeted areas in the bedrooms.
Under €1 million
Cork, Castletownshend – €980,000
This three-story walled townhouse in Cork comes with its own walled garden and looks out over the County’s coastline.
The Georgian home was once owned by Edith Somerville, who was an author of some note in Victoria-era Ireland.
It is said to be in a good location for both easy access to the city centre and the Cork airport.
