What can I get around Ireland for... €400,000?
From seaside living in Dublin to a spacious bungalow in Co Limerick.
KNOWING WHAT YOUR money will get you in a constantly fluctuating market can be valuable whether you’re a first time buyer or have been on the ladder a while.
Each week, we cherry-pick a collection of houses across the country within a specific price range, to give you a better sense of what you might be able to afford.
From a cosy two bed near the sea in Killiney to a four bed bungalow in Limerick, here are four homes around the country that are on the market for bang-on €400,000.
Killiney, Co Dublin – €400,000
On a quiet cul de sac on Dublin’s south side, sits 61 Castle Court, an end of terrace home with two double bedrooms and a large bathroom. The ground floor features a guest WC, a living room and kitchen, plus a large south-facing conservatory. A secluded rear patio area is an additional gem for sunshine fans.
Minutes from Killiney beach and the DART, this home’s proximity to the capital and enviable location makes it an ideal option for a young family who yearns to live near the sea.
Enniscorthy, Co Wexford – €400,000
Caalamva is a four bed home that underwent an architectural redesign to make the most of its location and space inside, as well as out. An oil-fired Aga cooker nods to the farmhouse-style in the marble and cherry wood fitted kitchen, while oil fired central heating adds extra cosiness. The south facing garden benefits from a raised deck that looks over the gardens, making it an ideal space for entertaining.
Walking distance from Enniscorthy town, Caalamva has hassle-free access to many of the amenities a family would need, including primary and secondary schools, supermarkets, cafes and transport links.
Gorey, Co Wexford – €400,000
Upon entering this four bed detached house, you’re presented with a vaulted ceiling and a tiled floor that leads to a well zoned, broken-plan space. A large angled window laps up every bit of light there is, while bi-fold doors give access to the outdoors. With one bedroom on the ground floor, a solid oak staircase leads to a further three on the first floor. The master bedroom enjoys an en suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes, too. Outside, a detached garage sits at the end of the gravelled driveway.
A brand new home just a mile outside Camolin village and a ten minute drive from Gorey, Whitewell will tick the right boxes for anyone with natural light and a scenic location at the top of their ‘must-have’ list.
Pallaskenry, Co Limerick – €400,000
Drive for thirty minutes from Limerick city and you’ll reach Boherard House, a four bedroom bungalow in the village of Pallaskenry. The surprisingly spacious interior is made up of an entrance hall, two lounges, a dining room, a dressing room and a utility room that all juxtapose traditional and modern features.
Surrounded by three acres of trees and mature gardens, this home offers a peaceful retreat with some convenience too. You’ll find primary and secondary schools nearby, and the village of Pallaskenry is within walking distance.
