4 of a kind: Bungalows with space inside and out
Check out these one-level homes in Dublin, Meath, Laois and Waterford.
BUNGALOWS ARE OFTEN overlooked in the grand scheme of housing options, but they can provide spacious and accessible living opportunities when you can find the right one.
There’s a particular appeal to one-level home, both in style and in comfort. If you’re not keen on having as much square footage up a flight of stairs, a bungalow might be the perfect fit – and here are a few to check out…
Mount Merrion, Co Dublin – €1,350,000
13 Iris Grove in Mount Merrion is a quintessential bungalow, and if that’s the style you love (and you have €1.3m to spend), this could be the house for you. The detached four-bedroom, three-bathroom home was built in the 1930s on a quiet cul de sac, giving you a peaceful spot to enjoy the mature gardens.
Inside, the living spaces are large and the ceiling above the kitchen is pitched with two skylights, making feel airy and open. You’ll have over 2,000 square feet of space, including bedrooms on the main level and upstairs.
Kells, Co Meath – €450,000
In Kells, Co Meath, you’ll find an even more sprawling bungalow property despite the quaint name. The Cottage boasts 3,500 square feet, including five bedrooms and three bathrooms in the main property. Outside, the three-quarter acre site is manicured and well-maintained with lawns, gardens, a kids play area and a separate garage currently used as a home office.
Located close to Kells and Navan town, and the M3 motorway will get you to Dublin’s M50 within 40 minutes.
Stradbally, Co Laois – €350,000
Another large bungalow, Bawn Hill in Stradbally, Co Laois, would offer you five bedrooms and three bathrooms nestled in a quiet spot in the countryside. The property is a ten-minute drive from Athy, so you’ll still be in convenient distance of a town, but you’ll enjoy the peace of a rural location as well.
Inside, the house has windows in all the right spots, making it bright throughout, including in the dining area that overlooks the property. Outside, the garden has mature flowers and its own orchard, as well as ample space for car parking.
Knockanore, Co Waterford – €178,000
Finally, Killeenagh South in Co Waterford, near the East Cork town of Youghal, you’ll find a smaller bungalow of three bedrooms and one bathroom. Built in the 1970s, this house is set on over a half acre of land, and has over 80 square metres of space inside. The dining space overlooks the garden, and the main bedroom is on the ground floor. The home also has an open fireplace as well as a wood stove, to keep it cosy all winter long.
Outside, there is a shed and porta-cabin for extra storage, and a poly tunnel frame perfect for hot house gardening.
