WONDERING HOW FAR your housing budget will get you? Every week we profile four different properties in a set price range, to give you a clearer view of how the market is looking.

This week, we’re checking out properties on the market for €250,000 or less. Here’s what you’ll get around Ireland at that price point right now…

Midleton, Co Cork

This compact two-bedroom gate lodge uses clever design to make the most of its 700 sq ft of space. The 300-year-old cottage underwent a full refurbishment in 2015, and so comes in turn-key condition. Happily, many of the property’s original features were retained, including exposed brick work and arch style windows.

Accommodation briefly comprises an entrance porch, open plan kitchen/living/dinning area, a bathroom and two bedrooms. Located 1km from Cloyne village, ten minutes from Midleton and 35 minutes from Cork city, Kilcrone Lodge would be a solid bet for urban commuters looking for some tranquility.

It’s on sale for €135,000.

Dunmore Rd, Waterford

Located just ten minutes from Waterford city, this three-bedroom semi-detached property in the Grantstown Park development would be a smart purchase for a growing family or anyone commuting to Waterford.

Inside, a hallway opens into a living room and kitchen/dining room, with two double and one single bedroom upstairs plus a bathroom. As well as 820 sq ft of floor space, the house has planning permission for a two-storey rear extension of a further 590 sq ft, providing a potential fourth bedroom and larger kitchen.

It’s on the market for €164,000.

Curracloe, Co Wexford

Featuring stunning views over the Wexford coastline, 8 Sea Vista is certainly aptly named.

The property sits on a 0.7 acre site, with the blue flag beach at Curracloe just a few minutes away for further outdoor escapes. Wexford town is a ten-minute drive away, and there are shops, a primary school, post office, church, hotel and pub located locally too.

Starting price is €245,000.

Situated in the heart of West Cork close to Skibbereen, Rosscarberry and Clonakilty, this charming former farmhouse is nestled among acres of rolling green hills and forestry. The four-bedroom property sits on a landscaped 0.6 acre site with spectacular country views, and is just over an hour’s drive from Cork city.

Inside is equally as impressive as outside, with plenty of natural light, three bathrooms, a home gym and a large sun room to the rear. Outside features a paved patio area and stone steps offering upper garden access.

It’s on the market for €235,000.
