4 of a kind: Family homes with BBQ areas for sunny summer days
From a five-bed in Sligo to a stylish home in Firhouse.
WHEN THE SUN is shining and mercury is rising, there are few things better than sitting down to a BBQ with family and friends.
This week we’re looking at four homes around the country with dedicated BBQ areas – from a five-bed in Sligo to a stylish home in Firhouse.
Ballisodare, Co Sligo – €645,000
Approached via a beautiful tree-lined avenue, this five-bed property makes a great first impression. The stone-front home is located on perfectly manicured grounds with the Ox Mountains and Ballisodare Bay as its backdrop, and boasts a custom-designed BBQ house.
The accommodation spans 2,783 sq ft, with the most impressive space being the sitting room where floor-to-ceiling windows and picture windows provide picturesque views of the surrounding countryside towards Ballisodare Bay.
Newtownforbes, Co Longford – €425,000
Built in 2005, this five-bed detached house comes to the market in turnkey condition. It is located on just under one acre of mature gardens, including a large south-west facing patio with a BBQ area.

All five bedrooms are located on the first floor, with engineered oak flooring throughout and a balcony from the master bedroom.
Firhouse, Dublin 24 – €499,000
A three-bed property, 164 Monalea Grove offers more than meets the eye. The modern family home has been fully renovated and extended to create a stylish and comfortable space that’s ready for immediate occupation.
The heart of the home is the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, where sliding glass doors and Velux windows flood the space with natural light. These doors lead to the rear garden, where a raised patio area makes for the perfect BBQ spot.

Surrounded by green fields and on a landscaped site of 0.75 acres, Newtown House enjoys a great sense of privacy and tranquility. Built in 2009, the five-bed property spans an impressive 3,660 sq ft, with wraparound decking and a brick BBQ extending the living space further.
