Under €250,000

Rochestown, Co Cork – €250,000

This duplex property in Cork has more than 1,300 sq. ft. of floor space and a number of features that will appeal to potential buyers, including a limestone fireplace and kitchen appliances included.

The two-bedroom home has a large master bedroom that comes en suite. Another benefit is that it has its own balcony area that serves as a suntrap in the summer. It is located a short drive away from Douglas village.

Under €500,000

Dublin 2, Dublin – €340,000

Well priced for its location, this property near the centre of Dublin has a lot to recommend it.  The three-bedroom would suit a growing family, with its location within a cul-de-sac affording it added privacy. It is around a 10 minute walk from St Stephen’s Green and Grafton Street.

Inside, the house has just over 850 sq. ft. of floor space, spread across two floors. Its back-garden is described as “low maintenance”, meaning that it does not have a grassed area. Its description does say it is south-facing though, which means it should act as a sun trap in the summer.

Barna, Co Galway – €550,000

This house, known as ‘Wild Winds’, is said to be a “haven of peace and tranquillity” that overlooks the Atlantic ocean. The property’s coastal location is protected by a number of mature trees.

Inside the house itself, there is more than 3,000 sq. ft. of floor space and five bedrooms. Its deccor is said to have a “Spanish and rustic” element to it, although some viewers might feel this is a bit dated. It also has 0.6 acres of its own grounds.
