4 of a kind: Coastal homes for seaside living
From a West Cork hideaway to a stunner in Malahide.
IRELAND’S COASTAL AREAS are some of the prettiest in the world. Whether you’re near Dublin, or down on the Wild Atlantic Way, the sea views here are something to be savoured.
With that in mind, here are four seaside homes on the market right now, all of them bungalows nestled in the Irish countryside.
Malahide, Co Dublin
Sitting on 1.3 acres of professionally designed lawns, Aillebrack is a stunning home that would suit a large family. With four bedrooms and a large garage to the rear, it has loads of space, as well as an elegant sunroom to enjoy the sunshine.
Aillebrack is less than five minutes to the beach at Portmarnock by car, and Malahide village is a bustling, charming spot with plenty of shops, schools and community services.
Aillebrack is on sale for €1,250,000.
Glandore, Co Cork
Set right on the coast, this incredible home boasts 180 degree views of Glandore Harbour and has large gardens spread over half an acre, so it’s a great spot for nature-lovers. The home has three bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, and a large conservatory for entertaining and relaxing.
The location is tranquil: this property is set right on the harbour, and is a 20-minute drive from Clonakilty village – or just over an hour to Cork city.
It’s on the market for €335,000.
Howth, Co Dublin
Number 288 Howth Road is a gorgeous period home, just a five minute drive from Dollymount Strand and Bull Island. With four bedrooms, a study room and a large, open-plan kitchen, it’s got plenty of space, as well as an outside courtyard and patio area.
As well as a close proximity to Dollymount, this property is near to the brand new Clontarf Baths for any swimming fans, and you’ll be in the city centre in under 30 minutes.
Belmullet, Co Mayo
If it’s a rural hideaway that you’re after, you won’t find better than this property, located seven miles outside Belmullet. Just three minutes from the beach, this property is a haven for fishing, sailing or seaside enthusiasts, with endless recreational facilities right on your doorstep.
Inside, the home features a library, built-in storage in the bedrooms, and geothermal heating, so it’s a thoroughly modern home for its modest price tag.
