What can I get across Ireland for... around €400,000?

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.
