What can I get around Ireland right now for... exactly €500,000?

From a five-bed in Clare to a former restaurant in Westmeath.

FINDING A HOME that matches your budget without compromising your list of must-haves can be tricky, but we’re here to make that task easier.

Each week we round up a selection of homes currently on the market in Ireland around the same price point, giving you a snapshot of what a particular amount could get you.

This week, we’re looking at properties around the country with an asking price of exactly €500,000. Here are a selection of properties to check out…

Ennis, Co Clare – €500,000

With five double bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, there’s no shortage of space at 11 Silvergrove, Co Clare. The entire house covers an impressive 3,594 sq ft, and is set on a 0.75 acre site with green lawns and a cobblelock driveway.

Along with the sleeping accommodation, there’s also an open plan kitchen/living/dining room, a separate formal dining room, and a ground floor gym or office. The property is within walking distance of Ballybeg Woods, so is sure to please nature lovers too.

Aughrim, Co Wicklow – €500,000

If it’s a retreat from the fast pace of modern life you’re looking for, The Sanctuary will do the job nicely. Located just beside Wicklow’s Macreddin Golf Club and with picturesque rural views from all sides, it’s the perfect place for some peace and quiet.

From the Gothic-style stone facade, you’d be forgiven for thinking this three bedroom property was a fixer-upper, but inside it’s a fully equipped family home with a fitted kitchen, a living room with triple aspect views and beautiful exposed beams throughout. The Sanctuary may seem like a rural getaway, but it’s not that far from our capital city, and drivers can be in Dublin in about fifty minutes.

Rathfarnham, Dublin 14

Situated in leafy Rathfarnham, 70 Marian Rd is ready and waiting for its new owners to put their own stamp on every room. The three-bedroom property is bright and spacious throughout, with an entrance hall, under-stairs storage, living room, kitchen and one double bedroom downstairs.

Upstairs are the remaining two bedrooms, also both generous doubles, and the family bathroom. Outside is an impressive amount of space for a growing family, with a west-facing garden extending to 70ft. Dublin city centre can easily be accessed by bus, and you’re close to the M50 too.

Athlone, Co Westmeath

If you love the idea of taking an existing structure and revamping the interior to totally suit your needs, then this property in Glasson, outside Athlone, could be one to earmark. It’s currently fitted out with a full restaurant inside, with seating for 62, a high-end kitchen and a separate large dining room. The structure sits on a site of 1.2 acres.

The first floor has previously served as accommodation for the restaurant owners, but is currently mainly used as storage. As the new owner, you’ll have the choice to reconvert the property for residential use, or even start a brand new business venture.
