4 of a kind: Homes with underfloor heating to keep you cosy all year

From Waterford to Donegal, these homes are energy efficient, too.

THERE’S NO BETTER time than bleak and cold January to start a property search for a home with underfloor heating.

It’s one of the most enjoyable modern conveniences – to climb out of bed and set your feet on a warm floor, or pad around the kitchen in your bare feet. And luckily, underfloor heating typically comes with the added benefit of energy efficiency, using less energy than traditional radiators. 

If you’re starting your property search, it might be time to add underfloor heating to your want list. Here are four homes around the country that will keep your toes cosy throughout the year.

Barna, Co Galway – €650,000

In Barna, Co Galway, you’ll find a five-bedroom detached home set on 0.4 acres, only five minutes walking from Barna Village. The ground floor enjoys underfloor heating, and the home benefits from high ceilings, exposed wooden beams and a floor-to-ceiling granite fireplace in the living room. 

The home has five bathrooms; four of the bedrooms are en suite. Three of those bedrooms are located on the ground floor, which means quite a few people will get to benefit from that underfloor heating upon waking up each morning. Outside, the gardens are expansive and mature, offering tranquility with the convenience of village life.
