This week, we’re in Kildare, Galway, Limerick and Mayo.

Celbridge, Co Kildare – €750,000 

No. 5 Weirview is an exceptional detached bungalow that offers tranquility, elegance and energy efficiency in a riverside setting. Located in a private development of just five homes, it enjoys a peaceful cul-de-sac position overlooking the scenic Millrace, complete with swans, herons and flowing water. The 176 m² home has a bright, spacious layout with three bedrooms (plus a study that could serve as a fourth), two en suite bathrooms and a B2 energy rating, thanks to solar panels and gas heating. 

The south-westerly aspect at the back ensures lots of natural light, while the large site allows scope for an extension. Immaculately maintained, other features include a modern kitchen, large lounge, outdoor garage and access to a communal picnic area and private boat slip on the River Liffey. It’s just a ten minute stroll from Celbridge.
