WHETHER THEY’RE USED as a cosy reading nook, a sunny dining area or simply to add light and space to a room, bay windows are an attractive addition to any home.
This week we’re looking at four properties around the country with bay windows – from a bungalow in Waterford to a three-bed in Glasnevin.
Dungarvan, Co Waterford – €650,000
Measuring 2,440 sq ft, 5 Tournore is a deceptively spacious detached bungalow. It was renovated, refurbished and re-insulated in 2005 and features a warm and welcoming interior with multiple living spaces, including a family room with a solid fuel stove and a bay window.
There’s also a dedicated home office with another bay window, and an open-plan living, kitchen and dining area. The five bedrooms are doubles, with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom in the master bedroom. Outside, there’s a courtyard garden with plenty of space for dining al fresco.
Dartry, Dublin 6 – €1,500,000
Tucked away in a quiet cul de sac, 4 Dartry Park is a highly attractive family home. The interior is charming and elegant and boasts multiple original features throughout, including marble fireplaces, ceiling coving and picture rails.
The living room, family room and master bedroom each have their own bay window, which allows for ample natural light. No 4 benefits from a 100ft+ garden to the rear, with mature shrubs and trees ensuring a high level of privacy. There’s room to extend the accommodation here, subject to planning permission.
Dunmoe, Co Meath – €445,000
Situated on manicured grounds of 0.62 acres, this four-bed bungalow offers more than meets the eye. Built in the early 1990s, it has been extended twice to create a bright and spacious family home of 2,527 sq ft.
The interior features plenty of personality, with vibrant yellow walls in the sitting room, a blue centre island in the kitchen and navy walls in the hallway. The rear of the property is south-westerly facing and comprises a large patio area and lawn, while there’s a spacious lawn and driveway to the front.
Glasnevin, Dublin 11 – €775,000
A three-bed terraced property, 54 Crawford Avenue is a modern and unique family home. Measuring 1,916 sq ft over three floors, the accommodation includes a large open-plan extension to the rear with two seating areas and a dining area.
The attic has been converted into a bedroom and study area, with an en suite bathroom also here. Outside, there’s a sunny patio to the rear, as well as access to a private recreational area for children to enjoy. Drumcondra village is a 10-minute walk away.
