Take 4: Homes for every budget around Ireland

Here is our pick of properties from €250,000… up to €1 million.

GETTING INTO THE property market can be a daunting experience. Here we try and make it a bit easier – and bring you four of the best properties on the market around the country this week.

Under €250,000

Dublin city centre – €180,000 (auction)

While this house in Dublin does not have a fixed price, it is set to go to auction with a reserve of between €140,000 and €180,000. The sale will be taking place at the RDS on  11 December.

Located adjacent to Connolly Station in the centre of Dublin, the property presents a real opportunity for an opportunistic bargain hunter. The end-of-terrace house is less than 1,000m from O’Connell Street.

Unfortunately, as this property is up for auction, the only picture are of the exterior of the house. Inside there are three bedrooms, set across two floors, with a basement also included.

Cork, Inniscarra – €475,000

This five-bedroom family home in Cork sits in 0.75 acres of its own grounds. Inside, over 2300 sq. ft. and has been designed to accentuate the natural light coming into the property.

While located in its own spacious grounds, the house is on the doorstep of local village Ballincollig, which has all relevent facilities – and is a 15 minute drive from Cork City.

A big selling point is the property’s gardens. They are described as having been “painstakingly developed”.

Its tiered outdoor space is pretty impressive.

Dublin, Malahide – €710,000

Coming up to around three-quarters of a million euro, you’ll find yourself with a lot more flexibility as to what your budget will stretch to.

With this seaside home your money will be going on a high-quality finish and premium location. The semi-detached family property sits in a quiet cul-de-sac looking out onto the Irish sea.

The house is a short walk away from both Malahide Village and the local marina. The inside has a number of bespoke features – including solid oak and stone floor, a landscaped rear patio and garden, and three large velux windows.

The property will be available to view this weekend and those interested in doing so should contact the estate agent.
