Ennis, Co Clare — €225,000
In the popular suburb of Ballyalla, you’ll find a four-bedroom, two-bathroom detached bungalow with interesting architecture throughout both the exterior and interior of the property. It sits on almost half an acre, which provides a private site for this unique family home, and includes a double garage.
Inside, the vaulted ceiling and large picture windows in the sitting room give a brightness to the living area, which also has a solid fuel stove. There are parquet timber floors in the entry and dining rooms; sliding doors lead onto a large side patio and back garden.
Dromahair, Co Leitrim — €225,000
Also at this budget is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached home in Co Leitrim that offers views of the Dartry mountain range and surrounding countryside. The property has a separate garage and plenty of garden space on the three-quarter acre lot.

Manorcunningham, Co Donegal — €225,000
Meanwhile, in Donegal, you could scoop up a five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached home in the town of Manorcunningham that measures almost 2500 square feet. The home offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, and the original planning permission included the option to build a double garage, for which the foundation has already been laid.
Inside, there is a tiled entryway which leads to a sitting room with a solid fuel stove with a timber mantel above. Two of the five substantial bedrooms have en suite shower rooms, and the kitchen has high-gloss cabinetry, perfect for keeping stains and grime away.
