From a five-bed family home in Co Cork to a modern and bright apartment in Dublin.
WHETHER YOU’RE A first-time buyer or you’re about to upgrade to a new place, the property market can be a difficult one to get your head around – especially if you’re working to a strict budget.
Each Friday, we profile a selection of houses across Ireland within a specific price range, to give you a better sense of what you could afford around the country.
This week, we’re at €400,000. Here’s a taste of what’s on the Irish market right now with that price tag…
Midleton, Co Cork – €425,000
Set over three floors and located in a quiet cul-de-sac, 16 The Pinnacles offers plenty of space and privacy for a growing family. It’s located a short walk from Midleton town, close to four large secondary schools and several primary schools, and is also a 35-minute drive from Cork city.
Inside, there are two living spaces at ground level to avoid squabbles over the TV, plus an open-plan kitchen/dining area and a utility room. The first floor features three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms, plus the main family bathroom. Upstairs are two more bedrooms with Velux windows and attic access.
Carraroe, Co Galway – €375,000
Hiding behind the stone facade of this four-bedroom home is a sleek, creatively designed space with glass walls, chrome finishings and polished black marble flooring. The property combines a two-storey stone fronted farmhouse with an architect-designed modern extension.
Along with a high-gloss art-deco style kitchen and a light-filled family room, the property’s impressive features include sound speakers in four rooms, geo-thermal heating, heated mirrors in all bathrooms, and a separate private shed on the mature garden site.
Sandyford, Dublin 18 – €375,000
Urban dwellers will appreciate the convenience of this two-bedroom apartment, located just minutes from the Green Line Luas at Sandyford, and close to a variety of shops, bars and restaurants. The sixth-floor property sits in a luxury, high-end complex and has its own balcony with south-westerly views.
Inside, the apartment is in walk-in condition, and comprises an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, a utility room, a master bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, a second bedroom and a high-gloss tiled main bathroom.
Knockainey, Co Limerick – €385,000
This lovingly-maintained six-bedroom family home is full of care and character, and would be the perfect space for a buyer looking to upgrade. Sitting on a 0.75 acre site featuring electric gates, a tarmacadam driveway, a detached garage and mature lawns, it certainly has no shortage of outdoor space.
Inside is also more than ample for a large family, with accommodation spread across three storeys. Downstairs briefly comprises two living rooms, a kitchen/dining room, a games room, utility, sunroom and guest WC, with three bedrooms on each of the upper two floors.
