4 of a kind: The most popular properties on Daft.ie this month
From a Dalkey mansion to a fairtytale Offaly cottage.
WHETHER IT’S AN ideal location, a perfect size, a unique exterior or an innovative design feature, there are plenty of reasons why one particular home might stand out from the crowd for house-hunters.
Every month, we take a look back over some of the most popular homes for sale right now on Daft.ie, to give you a taster of what your fellow buyers are getting excited about.
From a Dalkey home that’s rich in oak and marble to a fairytale-like cottage in Co Offaly, here’s a roundup of the most-viewed properties on Daft.ie for June.
Dalkey, Co Dublin
Yes, Hampton on Castlepark Road has an enviable location, but that’s not the only reason for its popularity. This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home is full of natural light, with sliding patio doors and roof windows capturing sunlight all day long.
Take a five-minute walk to Dalkey village and have your pick of sports facilities, primary and secondary schools. A walk along the seafront is a rite of passage in Dalkey, as is a stroll along the scenic trails of Killiney Hill.
Clarinbridge, Co Galway
Built in 2005, Clarin House’s traditional style and rustic stone exterior contrasts with the contemporary fittings inside. As a five-bed, five-bathroom home, there’s no shortage of entertainment with a home cinema, a gym and a bar all joining the luxurious entrance hall, ample reception rooms and bright kitchen.
A dream home for those who love to keep active, and just 2 km from the village of Clarinbridge, the property is surrounded by 7.65 acres of land. There’s a tennis court, a flood-lit playing pitch and even a sunken outdoor hot tub to relax in afterwards.
Ashford, Co Wicklow
This seven-bedroom home has plenty of stand-out features, but the spacious Miele kitchen is a great place to start. Joining it on the ground floor is a dining room, lounge, breakfast room and living room, as well as a generously-sized utility room. Add a home cinema, jacuzzi, gym and music room, and you’ll get a sense of the scale of this property.
Close to the M11, the home sits on 2.5 acres of land in a tranquil cul de sac. A ten minute drive will get you to busy Greystones where there’s no end of amenities as well as transport links to the capital and beyond.
It’s on the market for €1,500,000.
Blue Ball, Co Offaly
A short drive from Tullamore town and just over an hour from Dublin lies a thatched Offaly home that’s as close to a fairytale as you might get. Packed with medieval charm, the three-bedroom home has stone external walls, a thatched roof and a water fountain, all built on 0.9 acres of landscaped, split-level gardens.
The word ‘cottage’ may conjure up thoughts of a home that’s tight on space, but inside sits an entrance hall, reception area, two living rooms, a formal dining room, a kitchen, utility room, main bathroom, conservatory and three bedrooms. The master bedroom even has a walk-in wardrobe in the attic space. Far from a tight squeeze.
