4 of a kind: Detached family homes with four bedrooms or more
Here’s our pick of the best if you’re looking for more space.
WITH COMPLETE PRIVACY and no noisy next-door neighbours to endure, detached homes are a smart option for anyone looking for space and seclusion, regardless of location.
This week, we’ve rounded a selection of four detached homes on the market right now. And with four bedrooms or more, these homes are all perfect for a growing family too.
Malahide, Co Dublin
This four-bedroom property is only a short walk from Malahide village. The upgraded home, originally built in the 1970s, comprises of a large living room, a separate open plan kitchen and dining area, plus a utility room and a lounge with garden access. Four bedrooms, two of which have en suite bathrooms, sit upstairs. Space is maximized with an attic conversion, too.
Local primary and secondary schools include Saint Oliver Plunkett NS, Saint Andrews NS and Malahide Community School. Malahide is served by the DART and a number of bus routes, making access to the city simple. Dublin Airport, the M1 and M50 are all minutes away by car.
Clonskeagh, Dublin 14
One of the first things you’ll spot at No 6 Ardilea Wood is the balcony that leads off the master bedroom on the first floor. On the ground floor, two large lounges and a formal dining room are connected in style through marble fireplaces and bay windows. The kitchen has no shortage of storage with its built-in floor and wall units. From the kitchen, a breakfast room leads to a patio and the back garden via double doors.
With an impressive six bedrooms, No 6 is a good option for a family home that’s not far from the city centre and close to some of Dublin’s longest established schools including Gonzaga, St. Killian’s, Mount Anville, Blackrock College, Alexandra College and Muckross Park.
Tara, Co Meath
Commuter-friendly and built with privacy in mind, Ferndale is a four-bed family home that has been upgraded quite recently. This is evident as soon as you see the modern kitchen, the PVC sash windows and the parquet solid oak flooring on the ground floor. Upstairs, the master bedroom en suite bathroom also got in on the upgrade.
The home is located on the L1005, which connects to the N2 and the old Navan to Dublin road. And as it’s just a 15 minute drive from Dunboyne, access to Dublin city is easy with a park and ride service for the commuter train.
