4 of a kind: Foodie-friendly homes with large kitchens
From a kitchen handcrafted by Harrods of London to a cooking space with harbour views.
MORE OFTEN THAN not, the kitchen is at the heart of the home. It’s where we prepare food and often where we eat it, and it’s usually a warm and inviting space for entertaining, too.
With this in mind, we’ve hand-picked four homes with amazing kitchens, all of which are on the market around Ireland right now.
With handcrafted storage units, access to outdoor terraces and more than one ‘farmhouse-style range’, these four properties will please even the most discerning of foodies…
Newtownforbes, Co Longford
Located just outside Newtownforbes village, this four-bedroom home has been meticulously kept, and boasts a wonderful kitchen/dining area. It’s a sizeable room on the ground floor, with a good sized utility room adjacent.
The kitchen features granite worktops, an island and two ovens, one of which is at eye-level. This room also opens out onto the sunny patio area, making al fresco dining really easy – weather permitting, of course.
This home is on the market for €395,000.
Wexford Town, Co Wexford
The kitchen in this pretty five-bedroom home is easily its most impressive space. A stunning exposed brick wall is perhaps the most striking feature, with the beamed ceiling not far behind.
The fitted storage space is ample here, and a Belling farmhouse-style range is perfect for whipping up delicious home-cooked dinners. This home sits on 1.3 acres of land and overlooks Wexford Harbour, too.
Castlebar, Co Mayo
Built in 1991, this five-bedroom property takes design cues from the Jacobean era, and features a kitchen that feels like the heart of the property. An Aga takes centre stage, but look closer and you’ll notice exquisite workmanship: the kitchen was hand-crafted and commissioned through Harrods of London.
The Gables is a private setting, with gardens designed by noted horticulturist Gerry Daly and a large double garage.
Foxrock, Co Dublin
Built in 2008, this Dublin 18 home has a clean, modern-style kitchen, designed by noted interior designers McNally and featuring cream gloss fittings and a stone countertop. French doors fill the room with light, and a Siemens oven is among the high-tech features.
Elsewhere, the home has solid mahogany doors and floors, four bedrooms, and a Smart Home Entertainment system.
