From Cork to Kilkenny, check out these homes near the water.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING to uproot and move to a tranquil location with picturesque surroundings, one of these properties might be for you.
This week we’re looking at four homes around the country with river views – from a former school house in Co Kilkenny to a home on 14 acres in Co Limerick.
Jenkinstown, Co Kilkenny – €775,000
Built in the 1830s for the children of the tenants of Jenkinstown House Estate, The Old School House has lots of character. It was fully renovated in the 1990s, including the addition of the first floor, with further updates being carried out in 2001. Today, it’s a charming four-bed property of 4,047 sq ft with two acres of land, including river frontage.
Tinnabinna, Co Waterford - €450,000
Perched on an elevated site, this four-bed detached property boasts idyllic views of the River Blackwater. The bungalow was built in the late 1970s as a holiday home, but has acted as a permanent residence for the owners for the last 17 years. It features a well-kept, homely interior, including a sunroom which leads to a large decking area with river and countryside views.
Pallaskenry, Co Limerick – €785,000
Located on 14 acres of land a short stroll from the banks of the River Shannon, this four-bed detached property has no shortage of appeal. The house was completely refurbished in 2015 and comes to the market in turn-key condition, with features including a solid fuel stove, wood flooring and panoramic views of the river from the master bedroom. The land comprises two fields, stables, paddocks and private gardens.
Glengarriff, Co Cork – €695,000
A charming three-bed bungalow on one acre of grounds which border the Barony River, Angel’s Rest is an attractive property. The bungalow has been renovated and extended to create a comfortable and welcoming home, with features including exposed timber beams, feature stone walls and a large balcony with river views off the master bedroom. Glengarriff village is less than a five-minute drive away.
