4 of a kind: Homes with plenty of space for outdoor entertaining

From a four-bed with a sun deck in Gorey to a home with a marquee in Dublin 11.

THE WEATHER IN Ireland may not always suit lighting up the barbecue, but when the temperatures rise there’s no better feeling than dusting off the garden table and chairs and sitting outdoors. 

Today, we’re looking at a selection of family homes with large outdoor spaces for entertaining when the sun comes out. Even if it only comes out for a day or two.

From Galway to Dublin, read on to see a selection of properties that match this description on the market right now…

Gorey, Co Wexford

Located just a four-minute drive from Gorey town, this four-bedroom property comes to the market with all contents included. The detached house boasts a number of high quality features both inside and outside, including a detached garage which has been converted into a two-bedroom bungalow.

Inside, there are white oak timber floors, natural brick walls and a spacious kitchen with a centre island. What’s outside is most impressive, however, with built-in seating, a fireplace, barbecue and bar area. The decking wraps around the property and features a sheltered sunbathing area, with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

Make it yours for €430,000.
