What can I get in Ireland for... less than €200,000?

Stay on budget with our price-specific picks from around the country.

STEPPING ON THE property ladder can be difficult, especially when it comes to finding a new home that’s within your budget. That’s why, every week, we review four homes within a certain price range, so you can figure out how much bang your buck will get you.

This week, we’re taking a look at four homes well under €200,000. From a three-bed house in Laois to a two-bed cottage in Louth, here are some homes that may even leave you with change.

Mountmellick, Co Laois – €188,000

No.8 Oakview, an semi-detached home that now benefits from four bedrooms thanks to a spacious attic conversion. Natural light and minimalist decor means it wouldn’t take long to put a personal stamp on the place. Double doors from the kitchen lead to a spacious back garden with a large shed, while parking for up to two cars makes up the front.

Easy walking distance from the town centre of Mountmellick, Oakview is close to shops, primary and secondary schools, while a ten minute drive will have you on the N7. With a large patch of shared green to the front, this home promotes community spirit just 50 minutes outside Dublin city.

Dundalk, Co Louth – €180,000

Just a short drive from Carlingford village, Foy Cottage is a charming build with two bedrooms and one bathroom that’s complemented by beautiful original stonework inside as well as out. The full-on renovation within managed to maintain the cottage’s integrity, with open brickwork, timber finishes original fireplaces adding real character to the home.

Standing on quarter of an acre, the home benefits from sea and mountain views to the front along with parking, and a nicely-sized southwest-facing back garden. The village of Whitestown is a short stroll away, for peace and quiet without absolute isolation.

Ashbourne, Co Meath – €185,000

An apartment that’s in the centre of a bustling town will no doubt pique the interest of any first-time buyers and No.59 Killegland Meadows may just fit the bill perfectly. The two bedrooms, open plan kitchen and sitting room are drenched in light due to this apartment’s top floor location and angled windows. The sitting area, as well as one bedroom, have access to the balcony area.

Located in Ashbourne’s town centre, public transport and plenty of amenities are within reach, while the M2 and M50 are just short drives away, which means Dublin Airport is accessible in less than thirty minutes.

Athlone, Co Westmeath – €185,000

With a balcony that peers over the River Shannon, 58 Jolly Mariner might be a dream home for water sports fans. Residing on the second floor, this two bedroom apartment has a fully integrated and fitted kitchen and both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. The master enjoys an en suite bathroom.

The apartment is part of the Jolly Mariner Marina Village, which is close to the centre of Athlone town. Easy access to the M6 Dublin/Galway motorway makes Athlone the perfect base for exploring Ireland. The apartment block also includes a full time caretaker and an underground car park with lift access to the entire building.
