4 of a kind: Modern five-beds with plenty of space for families
From a luxurious home in Wicklow to a house on six acres in Cork.
As families grow, needs do too, and space is often top of the list for house-hunters looking to upgrade.
This week, we’ve rounded up four of the very best five-bed detached homes on the market right now – all generous in size and perfect in layout for any growing family.
Delgany, Co Wicklow
Built in 2008, Robin Hill is an impressive two storey, five-bed home that spreads over 4,300 sq ft. A separate and a well maintained surrounding garden adds privacy to this ideal family home. Inside, there are three social rooms that interconnect, high vaulted spaces and solid oak and Crema Marfil Travertine flooring. Three luxuriously apportioned bath/shower rooms and a custom fitted kitchen complete the picture.
The home is a stroll into the Delgany village and directly opposite the Delgany Golf Club. Greystones is just a short drive away, meaning seaside walks and connections to Dublin city centre are all within easy reach, too.
Enniskerry, Co Wicklow
Staying in Wicklow, 51 Eagle Valley is a roomy five-bed that stands on a quiet cul-de-sac close to Enniskerry village and Powercourt Estate. Georgian in style, the floor space is an impressive 3,021 sq ft, comprising of well-proportioned rooms that have been renovated and extended to bring function and light to every single spaces. The large extension also has its own entrance from the front of the house, which could easily suit an apartment conversion. Upstairs, there are bedrooms, three of which have en suite shower rooms and two with fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom also has a walk in wardrobe.
New home owners have their pick of both primary and secondary schools, including Powerscourt, St. Mary’s and St. Gerard’s schools, which are all close by. There’s also a feeder bus to Bray DART station at Bray, as well as a regular bus service to Dublin. The N11 is a two minute drive away, which means access to the M50 is simple.
It’s on the market for €1,200,000.
Strandhill, Co Sligo
Take a trip out west to Strandhill, for this five-bed detached family property. Rooms include a large, bright open plan kitchen and dining area and an interconnecting living room. This is a four-bed right now, but there is a study that could be easily converted into a fifth bedroom. One bedroom has an en suite bathroom while a main family bathroom also resides on the first floor.
Part of the Ocean Links development, 8 The Drive is located in Sligo’s largest coastal town, Strandhill. You’ll enjoy a nearby beach, views of the Atlantic Ocean – and plenty of amenities for growing families nearby.
Douglas, Cork

The spacious and well laid out accommodation lends itself ideally suited as a large family home with the added advantage of an adjoining self contained annex/studio.
The gardens are a special feature and are mainly laid out in mature easily kept lawns with a selection of specimen trees, mature hedges, plus flowering shrubs and plants throughout.
