4 of a kind: High-end bungalows with plenty of added extras
From tennis courts to office space, we take a look at homes with some excellent additions.
EVERYONE LIKES THEIR home to have something extra, be it a home office, a really nice patio area, or something really fancy like a home gym or games room.
This week, we take a look at one-level homes across the country with a little extra something going on.
Glynn, Co Wexford
Located ten minutes from the centre of Wexford town, this property sits on an elevated site, down a gravel driveway. Spanning 282 sq m/3,042 sq ft, there’s plenty of space for the whole family here.
There’s a lovely cherrywood and granite kitchen, and the extras are fantastic – the property has underfloor heating at ground level, as well as a home office. Upstairs, you’ll find a games room, as well as three bedrooms, one of which has access to an en-suite bathroom.
This property is on sale for €349,000.
Thomastown, Co Kilkenny
The gardens around Willow Lodge Legan have been meticulously designed, and so the house feels at one with nature. There are large windows that take in the best of the garden views, and you can also spot ceiling cornices, and other old world features throughout.
As well as having four bedrooms, one of which has a walk-in wardrobe, the property boasts an office. If needed, this could be converted, but as it is it’s a pleasant nook to get some work done in.
Mulranny, Co Mayo
Situated on the shores of Clew Bay, this seaside property was recently refurbished, and features a newly fitted kitchen area. This location is a beautiful one and the house makes the most of it, with large windows and an open plan layout.
There are four bedrooms, a sunroom, and an attic ready for conversion – as well as a wine store seperate to the kitchen area. It joins the integral garage and laundry room as extras to make life just a little easier in this rural escape.
It’s on the market for €370,000.
Newcastle, Co Wicklow
Located close to Druid’s Glen, this three-bedroom home sits on an acre of landscaped gardens, blending in perfectly with the rural surrounds. It’s got large reception rooms, a home office, and a big kitchen island with integrated appliances.
Much attention must be paid to the outside of the property, too; there’s a dining area, fire pit, and water feature to make use of on sunny days. Further away from the property, there are stables and a tennis court for private use.
